Measuring DNA Damage and Repair in Mouse Splenocytes After Chronic In Vivo Exposure to Very Low Doses of Beta- and Gamma-Radiation
Published on: July 3, 2015
Abstract:
The frequency of cells with micronuclei has been determined in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes of 7 days, 12 weeks or 15 months old mice. This was also carried out in mice exposed to different doses of whole-body X-irradiation 30 hours before. Significantly more micronuclei were found in old control mice. The increase in micronuclei induced by irradiation, was not influenced by age.
