>The resistance of irradiated erythrocytes to the subsequent effect of an alkaline medium is sharply decreased as compared with the resistance of unirradiated erythrocytes. This is apparently linked to the radiation injury of the lipid components of lipoproteins in the surface layer of the cells. The resistance of s approximately equal to that of unirradiated erythrocytes. The correlation of the latent period in the process of alkaline hemolysis to the dose of radiation can be expressed as a simple decreasing exponential function. It is theorized that the surface layer of erythrocytes contains a large number of independent radiosensitive areas, the damage of which substantiates the Target Theory.' (auth)
