Abstract:
Objective To study dose-response relationship for chromosome translocation and its persistence measured in human lymphocytes exposed to 60Co γ-rays.Methods The chromosome translocations in human peripheral lymphocytes were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization using 4# and 7# combination of composite whole chromosome-specific DNA probes and Giemsa stain.Results The dose-response relationship for chromosome translocation induced by 60Co γ-rays in vitro could be described by the function:Y=0.0030+0.0134D+0.0165D2.The frequencies of chromosome translocations induced by 0.5 and 2 Gy γ-irradiation did not diminish over time,so it exhibited excellent persistence.Conclusions The results indicate that retrospective dose-reconstruction can be accomplished using chromosome translocation frequency.
