A comparative study was made of the morphological and biochemical indices of rat thymus cells after gamma-irradiation with doses of 4-10 Gy (median), 20 Gy (high), and 200-400 Gy (superhigh). It was shown that 4 h after irradiation with superhigh doses the yield of polydeoxynucleotides (PDN) was twice as low as that observed after doses of 4-10 Gy. 24 h after irradiation the amount of the extracted PDN in thymocytes exposed to superhigh doses was markedly larger than that after 4 hours. After all doses applied chromatin degradation occurred at the internucleosome sites in a strict order, the activity of acid and alkaline nucleases being unchanged. A large number of cells have normal nuclear structure 4 h after irradiation (200-400 Gy), as was demonstrated by the electron microscopy data, while in 24 h no intact cells were virtually found in the thymus which correlated with the changes in the PDN yield. The mechanisms of the lymphoid cell death under the effect of different radiation doses are discussed. |
