Use of molecularly-cloned haematopoietic growth factors in persons exposed to acute high-dose, high-dose rate whole-body ionizing radiations

Exposure to acute, high-dose, high dose-rate whole-body ionizing radiations damages the bone marrow resulting in rapid decreases in concentrations of blood cells, especially lymphocytes, granulocytes and platelets with associated risks of infection and bleeding. In several experimental models including non-human primate radiation exposure models giving molecularly cloned haematopoietic growth factor including granulocyte/macrophage...
