  ABSTRACT: In medical practice, X-ray is mainly used as a diagnostic test and a type of radiation therapy for cancer and other diseases. However, the X-rays seem no use in the prevention of diseases. Since X-rays can alter gene expression patterns in host cells, it might have capacity to protect people from all viral infections based on our antiviral theory. We assume that X-ray irradiation on the upper respiratory tract could protect normal people from respiratory viral infections. If a low-dose X-ray irradiation could protect people for 6 to 12 months, the X-ray irradiation could be taken as an “irradiation vaccine”, which could replace normally used antigen-based vaccines for preventing all viral infections.
