Hæmagglutinin Production in Pre-immunized Mice exposed to Continuous γ-Radiation
Hemagglutin titers were maintained at normal levels in pre-immunized mice exposed continuously to a daily dose of 84 rad gamma radiation. Higher titers were observed during the early post-irradiation period. The maintenance of normal hemagglutinin titers during continuous irradiation is interpreted as an indication that antibody-producing mechanisms are not seriously disturbed despite the accumulation of relatively large doses of radiation. It is suggested that some relatively radioresistant cell belonging to the reticulo-endothelial system is responsible for antibody production. (C.H.)
