The splenocytes were cultured with ConA for 48 h in vitro 24 h after whole-body irradiation (WBI) with 75mGy X-rays in mice. The extracellular fluid of the splenocytes decreased the thymocyte apoptosis in vitro 24 h after WBI with 2Gy X-rays in mice, especially decreased significantly 72 h after the thymocyte culture (,P,<,0.05). Meantime, the CD 25 (IL-2 recepter) expression of the splenocytes (,P,<,0.01) and its IFN-γ secretion (,P,<,0.05) enhanced significantly. The results suggest that low dose radiation changes the microenvironment of immune organs and the process of their informention transfer to lead to the enhancement of immune functions, the acceleration of the maturation and differentiation of immune cells and reduction of their apoptosis.
