>Hematological chsnges are described which were observed in rabbits after injection of blood which was exposed to x rays in vitro. Fifty or 20 ml of blood containing about 8,000 leucocytes per cu-mm on the average was taken from a rabbit. It was exposed to 2,000, 3,000, and 5,000 r in vitro, and administered intravenously to normal rabbits. Leucopenia resulted, especially in the group given 50 ml of blood exposed to 5,000 r. The larger the volume of blood administered and/or the radiation doses given the more marked was the leucopenia. Erythrocytes containing Heinz bodies increased in accordance with peripheral leucopenia. While the rabbits given 50 ml of blood exposed to 5,000 r showed a considerable decrease of bone marrow cells and fatty degeneration as well as delay of regeneration, proliferative rather than degenerative changes were observed in rabbits given blood exposed to smaller doses of irradiation.
