Ionizing radiation poses a potential risk to human health and public safety. Therefore, an urgent need in the early stages of exposure to radiation can quickly minimally invasive biomarkers convenient testing to assess the extent of human suffering ionizing radiation. Serum protein is a promising biomarker, it has found that some radiation-sensitive protein, but for the low dose and high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation of the protein has not been reported. In our study, the mouse systemic exposure of carbon ions at 0.05 ~ 1gy or x-rays of 0.5 ~ 4gy. Then, we use the expression profile of mouse antibodies after exposure to radiation detection array 6 to 24 hours to serum proteins, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay further verified. We found that pancreatic insulin-like growth factor binding protein -3 (IGFBP-3) for the difference in time and dose-dependent expression of the presence of ionizing radiation. Further, receiving - operating characteristics analysis showed that serum IGFBP-3 with high sensitivity and high specificity is effective in exposed individuals. The combination of these results, we believe that high serum IGFBP-3, is extremely sensitive to low let ionizing radiation can be used as indicators of a new minimally invasive radiation exposure.
