The immune status in estimation of individual radiosensitivity

The results of experimental investigation of immune status after the strong radiation effect in doses from 6 to 9 Gy by content of T- and B-lymphocytes in peripheral blood, its synthetical activity, NST-test, a titer of receptor proteins in plasma were presented. It was established that all indicators undergo the phase changes and indicate the immune shifts in organism that allows to use it as indicators of radiation effect. The most essential communication is detected between the α-cell index of white blood and life time that is the basis for radiosensitivity prognosis. 10 refs.; 1 fig.; 2 tables. (author)
