| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conventional cytogenetic assays require two- or three-day peripheral blood lymphocyte culture before starting chromosome analyses to estimate biological doses. Therefore, alternative technologies that suit requirements for triage biodosimetry are needed. Radiation-induced DNA double strand breaks in G0 lymphocytes can be detected as interphase chromosome aberrations by the cell fusion-mediated premature chromosome condensation (PCC) method. In the present study, in combination with PCC and fluorescence in situ hybridization using pan-centromeric and telomeric peptide nucleic acid probes, prematurely condensed dicentric chromosome (PCDC) assay was developed, which has the potential for evaluating exposed radiation doses in as short as six hours after the collection of peripheral blood specimens for triage mode biodosimetry.
