Nuevas curvas de calibración para la dosimetría biológica en Cuba

abstract in this paper we show the dose response curves in vitro obtained at first time in cuba, with several biological indicators for radiation damage: rings in premature chromosome condensation (pcc-r); pcc index and -h2ax foci, all of these in peripheral human lymphocytes. these curves cover an interval of doses between 0.1 gy to 25 gy, several radiation qualities and times post-exposition, strengthening the capabilities of the cuban laboratory to give answer to the radiological emergencies and in the same way increase its contribution to elucidate any radiological abnormal event take place at the region where the main indicator at the present time is the dicentric assay in lymphocytes of peripheral blood.
