The experiments were staged on rabbits subjected to x ray irradiation (800 r). The adsorptive properties were studied with the cells of blood, liver, kidneys, spleen, small intestine, mesenteric ganglia, and muscles with respect to live culture oi Staphylococcus albus. In the irradiated rabbits the changes of adsorption were insignificant and they did not lead to the impairment of this protective function of the organism. The changes were most pronounced in the liver and were characterized by an increase of the adsorptive capacity. The introduction of penicillin for curative purposes to nonirradiated animals could provoke an inhibition of adsorptive properties of tissues, whereas in the irradiated rabbits this inhibitory influence of penicillin was less distinct. Moreover in the first 3 days following irradiation it even activated the process. In the author's opinion, the intensification of adsorptive properties in the liver and kidneys upon the action of various irritants on the organism demonstrates the compensatory ability of the latter.
