THE DREAM TEAM
Laboratory of Radiation Biology Marta Deperas- Kaminska (supervisor) Ekaterina Zaytseva
The practice purposes: Theoretical introduction to cytogenetic methods used in biodosimetry Instructions of safety rules of work with human blood samples. To learn how to irradiate human lymphocytes and culture them under experimental conditions. Be able to carry out a simple experiment and analysis with irradiated cells
Standard light microscope SCHEME OF THE EXPERIMENT Incubation for the standard metaphase analysis colcemid 47h Fixation Staining with Giemsa 50h Standard light microscope Radiation
Our experiment Irradiation of blood samples with different LET radiation Lymphocytes culture (48 hours) Incubation for standard metaphase analysis Picture 2 Lymphocyte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SEM_Lymphocyte.jpg Picture 1 Blood http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocyte
Analysis of chromosomes aberrations Lymphocytes fixation Giemza staining Analysis of chromosomes aberrations Picture 3 Chromosomes http://humogef.ifj.edu.pl/zaklad/foto13.jpg Picture 4 Chromosomes 2 http://humogef.ifj.edu.pl/zaklad/foto13.jpg
Unstable aberrations - dicentrics, acentric fragments and centric and acentric rings in Giemsa stained metaphase Dic Centric ring Acentric ring deletion ace
RESULTS: The increase of aberration yields with increase of radiation LET in human peripheral blood lymphocytes is observed.
