BALB/c mice undergoing cardiac irradiation with multi-fraction regimen of 2 Gy per day for 5 days or 10 Gy single fraction develop severe lymphopenia irrespective of dose rate. (a) Time trends of flow cytometric CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19 lymphocyte counts in the peripheral blood of mice undergoing conventional dose rate RT with the multi-fraction regimen. (b) Time trends of flow cytometric CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19 lymphocyte counts in the peripheral blood of mice undergoing ultra-high dose rate RT with the multi-fraction regimen. (c) Flow cytometric CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19 counts in the peripheral blood of mice on day 3 following conventional dose rate RT with the single-fraction regimen of 10 Gy. (d) Flow cytometric CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD19 counts in the peripheral blood of mice on day 3 following ultra-high dose rate RT with the single-fraction regimen of 10 Gy. Data are the mean percentages of cells ± SE. *p < 0.05 compared between control and other cohorts. Data are derived from experiment conducted in triplicates. (n = 5 in control, high dose rate and conventional dose rate group).
