Construction of Calibration Curve for Premature Chromosome Condensation Assay for Dose Assessment
نویسنده
چکیده
Cytogenetic dosimetry plays an important role in the triage and medical management of affected people in radiological incidents/accidents. Cytogenetic biodosimetry uses different methods to estimate the absorbed dose in the exposed individuals, and each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. Premature chromosome condensation (PCC) assay presents several advantages that hopefully fulfill the gaps identified in the other cytogenetic methods. To introduce this technique into the panel of other cytogenetic methods, a calibration curve for PCC after γ-irradiation was generated for our laboratory.

Biological Dose Assessment by Chemical Induction of Premature Chromosome Condensation
Dose assessment of radiation victims is a key element in medical management of radiation accidents. At high radiation doses (> 6 Gy), dicentric assay lose its efficiency and premature chromosome condensation (PCC) assay was proposed to overcome the restrictions of dicentric assay. It was shown that PCC ring is more suitable and simpler than dicentric for biodosimetry in high radiation doses. In...
متن کاملConstruction of a dose – response curve by induction of premature chromosome condensation for biological dosimetry
Premature Chromosome Condensation (PCC) appears to have a possible utility for biological dosimetry purposes. The PCC technique may be adapted for cases of suspicion of overexposure where sampling is performed at least one day after an accident. For this purpose, human blood samples were exposed in vitro to 60Co up to 10 Gy and the PCC technique was performed immediately after irradiation. Anal...
متن کاملInduction of premature chromosome condensation (PCC) by calyculin A for biodosimetry
Background: Premature chromosome condensation (PCC) is a method for interphase chromosome analysis in biodosimetry. This study was performed to verify the usefulness of PCC induced by calyculin A in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) for biological dosimetry and possible construction of dose-response curve. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood was obtained from a healthy donor and expo...

The growing use of ionizing radiation in various sectors of industry, medicine, agriculture and research has increased the risk of radiation exposure of staff and people. Ionizing radiation as a strong clastogen can cause different types of DNA damages and chromosomal aberrations. Biological dosimetry, based on the cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes has a wide application in d...
متن کاملDose estimation with the calibration of dose-response curve of micronucleus in human peripheral lymphocytes induced by 50MeV proton beams
Background: The purpose of this paper is to establish an easy and reliable biodosimeter protocol to evaluate the biological effects of proton beams. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were irradiated using proton beams (LET: 34.6 keV μm−1), and the chromosome aberrations induced were analyzed using cytokinesis-blocked (CB) micronucleus (MN) assay. To determine th...
