title: [The effect of gamma irradiation on the direct intercellular interaction (rosette formation) of thymic macrophages with thymocytes].
abstract: In experiments with (CBA x C57BL/6)F1 mice, the effect of radiation on rosette formation between thymus macrophages (Th-MPh) and thymocytes (Thc) was studied on days 1, 4, 12, 30, and 60 following gamma irradiation with doses of 0.5, 2, 4, and 8 Gy. The influence of supernatants of thymus epithelial cells (EC) on the rosette formation was estimated. Gamma irradiation with doses of above 2 Gy was shown to cause a dose-dependent inhibition of rosette formation of Th-MPh with Thc in vitro. Recovery of rosette-forming ability of Th-MPh was observed on day 60 of the experiment. Two types of rosette-forming Th-MPh were identified: RFMPhII with low rate of binding to Thc and RFMPhII with high rate of binding to Thc. Radiation affects mainly the RFMPhII content. With radiation doses of 4 and 8 Gy no complete restoration of RFMPhI was observed on day 60. The total population of rosette-forming Th-MPh was restored on day 60 mainly due to cells with low rate of rosette formation. The EC supernatant promoted rosette formation of exposed Th-MPh with Thc. The effect was maximum at early times following irradiation of Th-MPh with a dose of 4 Gy.
