A Novel SCID technology is established for biomedical studies to evaluate the effect of space radiation on human organs and tissues. Morphology and function of human tissues were well maintained in the improved severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice for long period (2 to 3 years). Cs-137 ray exposure to transplant human thyroid tissues resulted in the disappearance of the follicles, significant decrease of human thyroid hormones, an increase of mutations, and change of gene expression, while low dose rate radiation exposure rarely induced these defects. Change of gene expression was also induced in extremely high incidence by fission neutron.
