Spontaneous chromosomal aberration levels in human peripheral lymphocytes. 1978

B Ivanov, and L Praskova, and M Mileva, and M Bulanova, and I Georgieva

Spontaneous levels of structural chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes were studied cytogenetically in 49 female and 56 male subjects. With a total of 16 267 metaphase spreads examined, 191 cells were found to contain chromosomal aberrations, giving a rate of 1.17%. The rates of individual aberration types were as follows: chromatid fragments, 0.39%; chromosome fragments, 0.71% dicentrics, 0.06%; symmetrical and asymmetrical chromatid exchanges, 0.01%; and rings, 0.006%. There were significant differences in aberration yields between females aged 20--29 yr. and 60--70 yr., whereas males aged 20--50 yr. showed no difference. The two sexes differed significantly in chromatid fragments, chromosome fragments and aberrants cells.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
