RADIATION-INDUCED HEMORRHAGIC DIATHESIS IN DOGS UNASSOCIATED WITH THROMBOCYTOPENIA: ASSOCIATION WITH AN INTRAVASCULAR PROTEIN-POLYSACCHARIDE PARTICLE

Journal Article · · Blood (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4024648
Significant thrombocytopenia is not present preterminally in dogs given appropriate doses of /sup 90/Y--DTPA irradiation. Neventheless, these animals have a severe hemorrhagic diathesis at postmortem examination. Dogs systemically irradiated with /sup 90/Y-DTPA, and having a terminal hemorrhagic diathesis, demonstrate an intravascular polysaccharide substance at postmortem examination. This polysaccharide has staining characteristics similar to those first reported by Andersen in dogs systemically irradiated with x rays, and more recently observed in the lesions of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
