Two female rabbits were mated and then one of the rabbits was irradiated with a dose of 250 r two days later. Ova were then interchanged between the two rabbits by transplantation. Observations on the percent implantations of the number of transplanted ova were performed on the 9th to l0th day of pregnancy by surgical dissection. The rabbits were sacrificed on the 17th to 2lst day of pregnancy, and the embryos and placentation were examined. Only 46% of the ova were viable in the control set after transplantation; 27.4% of the irradiated ova in the unirradiated rabbits were viable; 30-8% of the unirradiated ova in the irradiated rabbits were viable, and 26.8% of the irradiated ova in the irradiated rabbits developed into embryos. Thus it is concluded that both direct irradiation of the ova and the maternal organism itself, when subjected to radiation, have a harmful effect on embryonic development. (TTT)
