THE EFFECT OF BISMUTH 206 IRRADIATION ON SURVIVAL OF SKIN HOMOGRAFTS

Journal Article · · Brit. J. Radiol.
Subcutaneous injection of /sup 206/Bi bound to denatured albumin in one leg of a dog irradiates draining lymph nodes, kidneys, and site of injection, with some whole-body irradiation. This irradiation was found to suppress the accelerated second and third set rejection of skin homografts, whether the grafts drained into irradiated nodes or not. Subcutaneous injection of /sup 111/Ag bound to denatured albumin irradiates draining lymph nodes with negligible whole- body radiation. Since after this irradiation the normal accelerated second and third set rejection was present, the effect obtained with /sup 206/Bi appears to be due to the effect of the radiation on the whole body, or on some part of the body other than the lymph nodes.
