title: [Changes in levels of p53 protein, immunoglobulin L-chains, and iron complexes in mice of leukosis strain AKR following low dose irradiation].
abstract: Changes in the content of protein p53 (regulator of the cell cycle) L-chains of immunoglobulins, and iron complexes (Fe2+) during the development of spontaneous leukosis in AKR mice and upon irradiation of animals with a dose of 1.2 cGy were studied by ESR spectroscopy, electrophoresis, and immunoblotting. It was found that irradiation leads to an increase in the incidence of leukoses in males by 7% and a decrease in life duration of females. A decrease in the content of protein p53 and L-chains in immunoglobulins in males and females was observed; however, in females, the decreases was less pronounced because the content of these proteins in females is naturally decreased. In mice irradiated with low doses at the age of three- to four months, a decrease in the amount of iron complexes at a later age (seven- to eight months) was registered. These data suggest that there is a relationship between the induction of protein p53 and the content of immunoglobulin L-chains in the blood serum of animals.
