EFFECT OF CALCIUM SALTS ON THE RADIOSENSITIVITY OF RAT THYMOCYTES

· Intern. J. Radiation Biol.
A substantial increase in the survival of irradiated thymocytes, isolated from thymus glands of young rats, resulted from the addition of Ca salts to the suspension medium. The addition of 0.01 M Ca increased survival from 34 to 72% after exposure to 70 r x radiation, and from 0 to 33% after exposure to 4,000 r. Similar results were observed when the Ca was added before or after irradiation. A number of other compounds were tested in a similar manner but their effects were much less striking. These include sodium gluconate or glucuronate, magnesium salts, and other compounds. It was concluded that the protection afforded by Ca ions against radiation death of thymocytes is fairly specific.
