Abstract:
Objective To study the exposure dose-effectiveness of ? irradiation on killing the plasmodium in the mice RBC,for the further exploration on the method that could kill the plasmodium in RBC without affecting the activity and function of normal RBC. Methods After infection with Plamodium yoelii (P.y),blood was collected from mice and exposed to ? irradiation (radiated group). An unirradiated group served as control. In the irradiated group,P.y infected blood was divided into three aliquots,each aliquot was irradiated one time by ? radiation using Gammacell 1000 Elite blood radiation apparatus. The dosage of each aliquot was 25,35 and 45Gy. After irradiation,the blood samples were stored at 4℃. Then mice were inoculated with these irradiated blood stored for 1,3 or 5 days after irradiation,or with unirradiated blood. Two days later,the blood samples were taken from inoculated mice and were examined under microscope and plasmodium infection rates were calculated. Results The mice in the control group had parasitemia much earlier than those in irradiated group (1—2 days),and the plasmodium infection rate in the control group was significantly higher than that in the irradiated group(3.7% vs 0.07%). With increasing dosage of irradiation,the survived plasmodium in blood decreased,and survival of mice increased(8—12 days). After 45 Gy irradiation and 5 day storage at 4℃,there were no plasmodium found in the red blood cell of inoculated mice. In the control group,blood testing result was positive,and all the mice died.Conclusion Plasmodium in mice RBC can be killed effectively when blood is exposed to 45Gy irradiation and stored at 4℃ for 5 days.
