Biological effectiveness of combined exposure to neutrons and gamma radiation applied in two orders of sequence: Relevance for biological dosimetry after nuclear emergencies

Objective: To investigate the potential impact of two different combinations of neutron and gamma radiation on gene expression and dicentric chromosomes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Methods: Whole blood from 3 human donors was exposed to neutrons with an energy spectrum similar to t...
