The biological action of high energy (500 Mev) protons

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

A study was made of the biological activity of protons with an energy of 500 Mev, the range being from 28 to 1008 rad—a total of 10 doses. LD50 was established for various periods: it proved to be 710±45 rad for 15 days and 610±30 for 30±120 days. A study was made of the relationship between the peripheral blood composition and the irradiation dose. The shape of the dose-effect curve for the peripheral blood cells depended on the follow-up periods and the properties of the blood cells themselves.
