title: [Immune response in mice exposed to low-dose X-rays].
abstract: The present paper was conducted to evaluate the immunological effect of low dose gamma-irradiation. The splenocytes of mice (C57BL/6N), 24 hours after the irradiation from 0.087 to 0.87 Gy, were incubated with mitogens of T or B lymphocytes, allo-antigen (splenic cells of BALB/c mice) (MLC) or sheep red blood cells (SRBC) 10 days after immunization with the SRBC in vivo, and then their incorporations of 3H-thymidine were measured. On the other hand, this incorporation in the presence of T-cell growth factor (IL-2) in vitro and a drug of AET in vivo was investigated to examine their radioprotective effects. The dose-response relation, i.e. decrease of 3H-thymidine incorporation in function of increase of the irradiation dose, was demonstrated in these immunological examinations except at the dose of 0.087 Gy. More, their incorporation was remarkably promoted by the administration of the T cell growth factor and the drug, therefore, these substances represent the radioprotective effect.
