This paper is the natural sequel to Madruga et al. (Environmetrics5, 47–56 (1994)) where data from literature were analysed. Here, three sets of experimental data were obtained at IPEN (Energetic and Nuclear Research Institute) from blood cultures from three patients with basal cellular carcinoma (1 male, age 68, and 2 females, ages 47 and 66), four healthy young subjects (2 males, ages 24 and 27, and 2 females, ages 20 and 27) and two older healthy subjects (1 male, age 50, and 1 female, age 46). These cultures were exposed in vitro to 60 Co radiation ranging from 0 to 500 cGy. The frequencies of cells with one or two nuclei, with or without micronuclei (MN), are the responses. Models for mono‐ and binucleated cells were obtained. As suggested in Madruga et al., models for mononucleated are simpler than for binucleated cells. The novelty is that, based on the observed frequencies of micronucleated cells, we can generate credible intervals for unknown doses to which an individual was exposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
