title: [Modulation of human peripheral blood neutrophil apoptosis by ultraviolet C-range radiation and by gamma-irradiation].
abstract: It was found that the irradiation with in vitro UVC (254 nm) in the dose range of 6-600 J/m2 accelerates the apoptosis of human peripheral blood neutrophils in a dose-dependent manner, with saturation occurring at UVC doses of 250-300 J/m2. gamma-Irradiation with a dose of 2 Gy accelerates the apoptosis of neutrophils, whereas the irradiation with doses of 10 and 20 Gy suppresses it (by 9 h of cultivation). Lipopolysaccharide (1 microgram/ml) suppresses the UVC-induced apoptosis of neutrophils.
