Abstract
Summary
Total body x-irradiation of monkeys with 450 r resulted in significant depression of leukocytes as early as second day with maximal effect noted between 10-17 days. Erythrocytes were affected at a later interval with maximum depression at 17-19 days post-irradiation. Recovery of leukocytes and erythrocytes to normal levels was observed between 3-3 1/2 months.
We are indebted to Joann Sparks, Marilyn Fisher, and Egon Nossal for technical assistance.
