Abstract

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) of peripheral blood lymphocyte were prospectively assessed in 9 patients who were injected with 201Tl-chloride and 123I-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid in dual-isotope imaging. Phosphorylated H2AX (γH2AX) was used as a biomarker for detecting DSBs, and the mean number of γH2AX foci per cell was measured microscopically. Mean γH2AX foci before administration of radiopharmaceuticals and at 3, 6, and 24 h following administration were 0.22 ± 0.34, 0.10 ± 0.14, 0.59 ± 0.46, and 0.52 ± 0.40, respectively (p = n.s. for all combinations).
