With introduction of CB into the test-system of the donor's blood the T-lymphocytes radiosensitivity has been shown to be increased during the Go- and S-periods of the cell cycle, which fact should be taken account of in planning radiotherapy in oncological patients. A decrease in the level of aneuploid lymphocytes against the background of blast-transformation as a result of transfusion of CB may suggest normalization of the pool of lymphocytes.
