[The biological effect of low-level radiation doses on the morphological composition of the peripheral blood in children]. 1992

Examination of 339 children at the age of 2 to 12 years, living in the caesium contaminated region (from 2 to 5 Ci/km2) has revealed that total radioactivity of their urine is, on the average, twice as high as that of children living in "pure" regions. Quantitative and qualitative changes were observed in the erythroid series, neutrophilic leukocytes, eosinophils and B-lymphocytes of the peripheral blood of children subjected to long-term low-level irradiation. It should be noted that the character and direction of these changes were a function of the children's age and the level of total radioactivity of their urine.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
