Effect of X-Ray and UV irradiation of the C 60 fullerene aqueous solution on biological samples

The dependence of the optical absorption density on the UV irradiation time of a biological sample (the suspension of thymocytes, isolated from Wistar rat thymus) and the DNA structural state in cells under X-ray irradiation in the presence of the C 60 fullerene aqueous solution were investigated an...

Summary:The dependence of the optical absorption density on the UV irradiation time of a biological sample (the suspension of thymocytes, isolated from Wistar rat thymus) and the DNA structural state in cells under X-ray irradiation in the presence of the C 60 fullerene aqueous solution were investigated and analyzed in detail. The significant pro-oxidant effect of this material at the low concentration of fullerene C 60 (10 −5 M) was revealed.
