title: Induction of high SCEs in normal cells by 11-12 kDa plasma protein overexpressed in some sleep deprived volunteers.
abstract: The present study confirmed our earlier preliminary observation of induction of high SCEs in 1 day sleep-deprived healthy volunteers and showed that the property of induction of high SCE by after-sleep-deprived (ASD) plasma was retained both in 50% ammonium sulphate precipitates and in the dialysed plasma using a membrane of 12 kDa porocity. Further, nitrocellulose bound 11-12 kDa electrophoretically isolated plasma protein from ASD individuals was found responsible for the induction of high SCE in normal whole blood cultures. A short exposure of 3 h to 5% ASD plasma was enough to induce significantly high SCEs in normal lymphocytes which had undergone 2 replication cycles after the exposure to this factor.
