[Regulation of glucose transport in rat thymocytes after chronic gamma-irradiation]. / Reguliatsiia transporta glukozy v timotsitakh krys posle khronicheskogo g-oblucheniia.

Chronic gamma-irradiation (1 Gy, 100 mR/hr) increases cell titre in rat thymus and decreases glucose transport activation by phorbol ester. Animals kept in the Chernobyl evacuation zone over a period of 30 days exhibit reduced thymus cellularity and decreased PMA (200 nM) stimulation of glucose uptake by thymus cells.

[Oxygen activation by lymphocytes during interaction of HLA antibodies with HLA antigens]. / Aktivatsiia kisloroda limfotsitami pri vzaimodeistvii HLA-antitel s HLA-antigenami.

The method of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence was used to detect oxygen activation during interaction of HLA antibodies with HLA antigens expressed on lymphocyte surface. Introduction of specific anti-HLA serum into the lymphocyte suspension leads to a rapid decrease of intensity in chemiluminescence intensity follows. The maximum yield of induced chemiluminescence in case of using a specific antiserum is significantly lower than in the control. The method could be used for detection of HLA antigens on lymphocyte surface.

[The effect of low doses of gamma radiation on the structural-functional status of the membranes of aortic smooth muscle cells in rats]. / Vliianie malykh doz gamma-izlucheniia na strukturno-funktsional'noe sostoianie membran gladkomyshechnykh kletok aorty krys.

Using the fluorescent probe and membrane filtration methods it has been shown that 3 days after gamma-irradiation of rats with a dose of 1 Gy microviscosity of membranes increases and their Ca2(+)-transport function decreases with a simultaneous increase in the affinity of Ca2(+)-pump for calcium. In 15 days, the characteristics under study do not differ from those of the intact controls.
