A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ROLE OF HEMATOPOIETIN DURING THE RADIATION SICKNESS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4271194
Ionizing radiations produce a hypoplastic reduction of the bone marrow by depressing its hematopoietic functions. Normally, a humoral factor contained in the plasma of anemized animals, hematopoietin, stimulates the proliferative processes of the erythroid elements in the bone marrow. The effect of hematopoietin on the hematopoietic recovery and on the lethality of irradiated rats, previously injected with anemic and norma1 rabbit plasma, was studied. The rats received 1 or 2 ml of plasma 7 to 14 days before irradiation. Preliminary experiments show a 30% survival after a dose of 850 r. No difference was observed between the rats treated with anemic plasma. The role of the latter has not been clarified. (auth)
