X-ray effects on passive allergy induced by albumin antibodies in guinea pigs were studied. When a dose of 200 r was administered the lethal tendency was mostly inhibited up to 5 to 7 days after irradiation. After 14 days it was about the same as the control group, and after 28 days it was increased. When 200 r was given, a latent period up to the typical shock appeared and the time before death by shock occurred showed a tendency to increase. The degree of decrease of complement body was not clearly explained. The extent of the drop in body temperature was unequivocal. The extent of lung expansion was related to the survival rate and excessive expansion resulted in death. At 7 days after 200 r irradiation, the lung expansion was medium. The severe clinical symptoms were not seen on the 7th day after irradiation and were about the same as on the 5th day. Those of the 14th, 21st, snd 28th days were relatively severe. The effect of irradiation at the dose of 100 r was not marked but those of 50 and 25 r were increased. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 7, 1960.)
