SERS detection of radiation injury biomarkers in mouse serum.

ABSTRACT: In a large-scale radiological catastrophe, it is expected that hundreds and thousands of people could be exposed to radiation. A rapid method is required for triage of casualties to determine proper medical treatment. In this article, mice were exposed to different radiation doses and sera of mice were investigated by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and orthogonal projections to latent structure discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) after total body irradiation (TBI). The results of the present study indicated that differences have widened over time. The different radiation groups showed a slight overlap at 24 h and 72 h but were completely distinct at the 10th day after TBI. The SERS spectrum between the normal group and the irradiated group showed a significant difference at 24 hour
