Studies were made of the effects of antibiotics on the biological effectiveness of radiation not related to reducing infections. The direct effects of streptomycin on the radiosensitivity of carcinoma cells in mice were studied using the frequency of chromosome aberration as the criterion. Tabulated data show that, depending on the concentration, streptomycin modifies the effects of radiation. Small amounts of antibiotics do not produce an ap preciable effect. Studies were also made of the effects of streptomycin on white corpuscles in mice following whole-body exposure to 3000 r (Co/sup 60/) at 290 r/min. (K.V.J.)
