>A comparison of the pattern of antibody synthesis and of unspecific blood gamma globulin; during radiation sickness in rabbits led to the conclusion that irradiation of animals with sublethal doses of x radiation causes disturbances of agglutinin and precipitin production. The production of precipitin was affected to a greater degree than agglutinin production. Irradiation with a lethal dose caused a marked suppression of precipitin production, whereas it activated the production of agglutinin. Simultaneously, the production of unspecific gamma globulin showed a decrease in animals exposed to radiation. (C.H.)
