Abstract
Purpose: Dose response and repair kinetics of γ-H2AX foci in T-lymphocytes were investigated in the low dose range after in vitro irradiation of whole blood and T-lymphocytes with 100kVp X-rays and 60Co γ-rays. Materials and methods: Whole blood or isolated T-lymphocytes were irradiated in vitro and γ-H2AX foci were scored. Dose response was determined in the 0–500mGy dose range. Foci kinetics were studied at doses of 5mGy and 200mGy up to 24h post-irradiation. Results: After X-irradiation, the dose response for whole blood shows a biphasic behaviour with a low dose hypersensitivity, which is less pronounced for isolated T-lymphocytes. In contrast, γ-radiation shows a linear dose response for both irradiation conditions. Concerning repair kinetics, delayed repair was found after X-ray whole blood irradiation (5mGy and 200mGy) with 40% of the foci persisting 24h post-irradiation. This number of foci is reduced to 10% after irradiation of isolated T-lymphocytes with 200mGy X-rays. On the contrary, γ-H2AX foci are reduced to background levels 24h post-irradiation with 200mGy 60Co γ-rays. Conclusions: γ-H2AX foci response and repair kinetics depend on irradiation conditions and radiation quality, possibly linked to bystander response.
