Abstract

The purpose of the study was to induce an adaptive response in radiation exposed and unexposed individuals as measured by the frequency of micronuclei. Lymphocytes isolated from 5 healthy donors were exposed to an adapting dose of 0.1 Gy CO⁶⁰ and a challenging dose of either 1.5 Gy CO⁶⁰ or 0.8 Gy neutron beams. An adaptive response to both the neutrons and cobalt was seen in three of the five individuals. An adapting dose of CO⁶⁰ is able to protect cells from a challenging dose of neutron radiation.
