Whole blood gene expression within days after total-body irradiation predicts long term survival in Gottingen minipigs

Abstract Gottingen minipigs mirror the physiological radiation response observed in humans and hence make an ideal candidate model for studying radiation biodosimetry for both limited-sized and mass casualty incidents. We examined the whole blood gene expression profiles starting one day after total...
