FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS OF LYMPHOCYTES IN C ONSUMPTIVES EXPOSED TO RADIATION INFLUENCE

The peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy donors and consumptive pat ients, living in radiocontaminated territories were investigated with biophysical methods (proper and probe fluorescence, photosensitized de ath of cells). The alterations in cells were detected under contractin g a consumptive disease that indicated the intensification of metaboli c processes, reduction of antioxidant system activity, lipid bilayer v iscosity and negative charge of cell membranes. The above alterations were more pronounced in some of the mentioned parameters in the consum ptive patients exposed to radioactive influence in the range of 2-8 RE M.
