Abstract
Conclusions
1. Radiophosphorus lowers the absolute numbers of red cells, lymphocytes, and granulocytes in monkeys. 2. The degree of effect is about the same in lymphocytes and granulocytes, red cells being less affected. 3. Monkeys tolerated dosages of .76 and .71 millicuries of radiophosphorus per pound of body weight, 1.04 millicuries per pound being fatal. 4. The tolerance levels of radiophosphorus are about 10 times that usually used therapeutically.
