EFFECTS OF FRACTIONATED IRRADIATION ON THE LATEROCERVICAL LYMPH NODES IN GUINEA PIGS. MORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL RESERACH (in Italian)

Journal Article · · Radiobiol. latina
OSTI ID:4018303
The left cervical lymph nodes were irradiate4 in young guinea pigs, using fractionated doses of 500 to 12000 r. Animals were sacrificed immediately and 15 and 30 days after irradiation. The iritial damage and the repair process were studied morphologically with the aid of histochemical techniques. Within the experimental limits, and even after the highest doses, a complete disappearance of the lymphatic tissue was neven seen, in contrast to the reports of other authors. Moreover the reticulsr cells never appeared damaged and never showed any signs of fibroblastic transformation, whereas this was evident in the capsule and pericapsular tissue. On the other hand signs of a lymphoblastic differentiation of reticular cells were clearly seen. (auth)
