Nanosensor dosimetry of mouse blood proteins after exposure to ionizing radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Giant magnetoresistive (GMR) nanosensors provide a novel approach for measuring protein concentrations in blood for medical diagnosis. Using an in vivo mouse radiation model, we developed protocols for measuring Flt3 ligand (Flt3lg) and serum amyloid A1 (Saa1) in small amounts of blood collected during the first week after X-ray exposures of sham, 0.1, 1, 2, 3, or 6 Gy. Flt3lg concentrations showed excellent dose discrimination at ≥ 1 Gy in the time window of 1 to 7 days after exposure except 1 Gy at day 7. Saa1 dose response was limited to the first two days after exposure. A multiplex assay with both proteins showed improved dose classification accuracy. Our magneto-nanosensor assay demonstrates the dose and time responses, low-dose sensitivity, small volume requirements, and rapid speed that have important advantages in radiation triage biodosimetry.

Introduction: Coronary angiography is a Diagnostic-Therapeutic method involving ionizing radiation. This method causes to DNA damage with form double stranded breaks which is followed by the phosphorylation of the histone, H2AX. H2AX is a key factor in the repair process of damaged DNA which will accumulate to damage sites. In human cells, H2AX constitutes about 10% of the H2A ...
