The first gamma-H2AX biodosimetry intercomparison exercise of the developing European biodosimetry network RENEB.
In the event of a mass casualty radiation incident, the gamma-H2AX foci assay could be a useful tool to estimate radiation doses received by individuals. The rapid processing time of blood samples of just a few hours and the potential for batch processing, enabling high throughput, make the assay ideal for early triage categorisation to separate the 'worried well' from the low and critically ex...
متن کاملRealising the European Network of Biodosimetry (RENEB).
In Europe, a network for biological dosimetry has been created to strengthen the emergency preparedness and response capabilities in case of a large-scale nuclear accident or radiological emergency. Through the RENEB (Realising the European Network of Biodosimetry) project, 23 experienced laboratories from 16 European countries will establish a sustainable network for rapid, comprehensive and s...
متن کاملRealising the European network of biodosimetry: RENEB—status quo
Creating a sustainable network in biological and retrospective dosimetry that involves a large number of experienced laboratories throughout the European Union (EU) will significantly improve the accident and emergency response capabilities in case of a large-scale radiological emergency. A well-organised cooperative action involving EU laboratories will offer the best chance for fast and trust...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Gamma-H2AX Assay for Radiation Biodosimetry in a Swine Model
There is a paucity of large animal models to study both the extent and the health risk of ionizing radiation exposure in humans. One promising candidate for such a model is the minipig. Here, we evaluate the minipig for its potential in γ-H2AX-based biodosimetry after exposure to ionizing radiation using both Cs137 and Co60 sources. γ-H2AX foci were enumerated in blood lymphocytes and normal fi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the annual Canadian biodosimetry network intercomparisons
PURPOSE To evaluate the importance of annual intercomparisons for maintaining the capacity and capabilities of a well-established biodosimetry network in conjunction with assessing efficient and effective analysis methods for emergency response. MATERIALS AND METHODS Annual intercomparisons were conducted between laboratories in the Canadian National Biological Dosimetry Response Plan. Interc...
