Activation of NF-kappaB in bone marrow cells of BALB/cJ mice following exposure in vivo to low doses of (137)Cs gamma-rays.

We measured levels of NF-kappaB activation in bone marrow (BM) cells collected at 1 and 4 h from male BALB/cJ mice (10-12 weeks old) given a whole body dose of 0, 0.05, 0.1 and 1 Gy of (137)Cs gamma-rays (at the dose rate of 0.
