Abstract
Summary
Mice were subjected to continuous gamma radiation (128 r/22 hours) for 3 weeks, and bactericidal activity of their phagocytes determined at weekly intervals. Bactericidal activity declined gradually through 2 weeks exposure (1800 r) then fell off rapidly in the third week (2695 r). These results are compared to those obtained with mice exposed to single doses of x-irradiation.
