Article Synopsis
- The study explored the health effects of long-term low dose radiation on immune function in residents of the Yangjiang High Background Radiation Area (HBRA) by analyzing lymphocyte subsets and serum cytokines.
- Using flow cytometry, researchers found significantly increased CD8 T lymphocyte numbers and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines in the HBRA group compared to a control group, adjusting for age and BMI.
- ELISA validation confirmed these findings, indicating that long-term exposure to low dose radiation adversely affects immune responses through increased CD8 T cells and heightened inflammatory biomarkers.
