Study of quantitative cytochemistry on the contents of chemical components of peritoneal macrophages in irradiated mice / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

The contents of acid phosphatase (AcPase),adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and deoxyribonucIeic acid (DNA) of the peritoneal macrophages in mice were studied quantitively by using texture analysis system (TAS) on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th day after irradiation with 8GY of ~(60)Co ?-rays. It was found that the contents of AcPase, ATPase and DNA decreased in varying degrees after irradiation in comparison with the control. The contents of AcPase and ATPase decreased remarkably on the 6th day,and the content of DNA decreased apparently on the 3rd day after exposure. Then, they returned to normal level respectively.
