mortality/aging
• only 60% of mice die following exposure to radiation that kills all wild-type mice
|
hematopoietic system
• irradiation-exposed thymic cells exhibit decreased apoptosis compared to similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• following irradiation, mice exhibit only moderate anemia compared to the severe anemia observed in similarly treated mice
|
• following irradiation, mice exhibit only moderate thrombocytopenia compared to the severe thrombocytopenia observed in similarly treated mice
|
• following irradiation, mice exhibit only moderate leucopenia compared to the severe leucopenia observed in similarly treated mice
|
cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit resistance to gamma-radiation cell cycle arrest unlike wild-type cells
|
• irradiation-exposed thymic cells exhibit decreased apoptosis compared to similarly treated wild-type cells
|
neoplasm
immune system

homeostasis/metabolism
• only 60% of mice die following exposure to radiation that kills all wild-type mice
|
