In this research the effect of X-ray with two different energies (6&10) MeV on the number of T-cells in whole blood samples collected from 50 donors (only men) was studied. Blood samples were exposed to (0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40) Gray doses of X-rays. The absolute lymphocytes number (Lym), T-cell % and T-cell number) were measured before and after irradiation, then the reduction of each value was calculated. By making comparison between the effects of two energies, it was observed that the use of X-rays 6MeV is more useful because T-cell number reduced with increasing the doses more than when using X-ray 10Mev.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
