Phagocytosis in the lungs was studied by way of intratracheal introduction of a trypan blue solution with the subsequent counting of cells which have ingested the stain (in prints and histotopographic preparations). Total irradiation of rabbits by filtered x rays (500 r) provokes an inhibition of the activity of pulmonary macrophages. This is expressed by the drop of the number of cells which have ingested the stain, as well as by retarded digestion of trypan blue. Corresponding to the stages of development of acute radiation sickness there is seen a short phase of intensified phagocytosis; gradual reduction of phagocytic activity with subsequent insignificant inhibition at the height of the affection and restoration.
