Abstract:The effect of 60Co Y-rays irradiation on the DNA of blood cells of Monopterus albus has been investigated by means of 3H-TdR incorporation.It has been shown that the amount of incorporation of 8H-TdR into DNA of blood cells of Monopterus albus varied with the radiation doses.In the range of low doses (0.1-0.5 Gy) irradiation leads to the increase of incorporation of 3H-TdR into DNA of blood cells of Monopterus albus.On the contrary,in the range of high doses(1-9.4Gy)irradiation leads to decrease of incorporation.Moreover,pretreating the.blood cells with EDTA (4 mM ) before irradiation would eliminate the increase of incorporation at low doses (0.5 Gy ) as mentioned above.Pretreating the blood cells with KI ( 4 mM ) before irradiation would cause double increasing of incorporation of 3H-TdR into DNA of blood cells
