AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF X-RAYS ON THE RED BLOOD CELL SURVIVAL OF IRRADIATED ANIMALS
The survival of red cells of rabbits exposed to single whole-body irradiations of 400 r and 600 r, or exposed to daily whole-body irradiations of 100 r for 6 days, was examined by the Cr/sup 51/-tagged red blood cell method. When the rabbits were exposed to 400 r, the survival of red blood cells at 2 hours, 15 days, 28 days, 42 days, and 56 days after the exposure showed normal values. When the rabbits were exposed to 600 r, survival of red blood cells at 2 hours, 15 days, and 42 days was normal. When the rabbits were exposed to dayp whole-body irradiations of 100 r for 6 days, the life span of red blood cells at 2 hours after exposure was normal, that of red blood cells at 15 days after the exposure was slightly reduced, and that of red blood cells at 42 days after the exposure was shown to be distinctly shortened.
