Blood-irradiation GSR C1

Areas of application: gamma-irradiation of: Blood and blood derivatives Cell cultures Transplants Gamma-irradiation prevents the partitionability of immunocompetent cells. The transmission of these cells, without irradiation, can cause serious and often mortal complications – Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) – for immunodeficient patients. Other fields of application exist in the scope of radiobiological research: In-vitro-analysis of radiosensitivity of peripheric and modulated blood cells Identification of histocompatibility via an analysis of the lymphocyte culture Analysis – after irradiation – of the molecular mechanism in the case of diseases which are connected with a defect of the enzyme system.
