Abstract
-
To determine the radiosensitivity and dose-urvival characteristics of jejunal crypt cells, experimental study was done using total 40 mice. Single irradiation of 1,000rad to 1,600rad was delivered to whole bodies of mice, using a cesium 137 animal irradiator. The number of regenerating crypts per jejunal circumference was counted, by using a jejunal crypt cell assay technique, and dose response curve was measured. The average number of jejunal crypt per circumference in control group was 140+/-10. Mean lethal dose(D0) of mouse jejunal crypt cell was 135rad.
