THE COMBINED ACTION OF BONE MARROW AND STREPTOMYCIN IN PROTECTING NEUTRON- IRRADIATED MICE FROM ACUTE MORTALITY

Journal Article · · Transplantation Bull.
Mice exposed to a single whole-body dose (LD 95/30) of fission neutrons (350 to 360 rads) usually die within 10 days. However, when a single postirradiation injection of isologous bone marrow cells is combined with daily treatment with the antibiotic streptomycin, such neutronirradiated animals are protected against acute radiation death (88% survival at 30 days). The combined action of the 2 agents probably reflects their protection against damage to different physiological systems. (auth)
