THE EFFECT OF RADIATION DOSE ON THE RESISTANCE OF IRRADIATED ERYTHROCYTES IN ALKALINE MEDIUM AND THE LATENCY OF ALKALINE HAEMOLYSIS

OSTI ID:4232152
The resistance of irradiated erythrocytes to the subsequent effect of an alkaline medium was greatly reduced in comparison with the resistance of unirradiated erythrocytes. This phenomeuon is evidently connected with radiation damage of the lipoid components of the lipoproteins in the surface layer of the cell. The resistance of irradiated erythrocytes to the subsequent effect of an acid medium was approximately the same as that of unirradiated erythrocytes. The dependence of the latent period associated with alkaline hemolysis on the dose of radiation appeared to be a simple decreasing exponential function. It is suggested that the surface layer of an erythrocyte contains a large number of independent radio-sensitive spots, which are subject to radiation damage according to the target theory. (auth)
