THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF THE SPLEEN AND BONE MARROW IN RADIATION REACTIONS. II. THE EFFECT OF THE SPLEEN ON THE REACTION PICTURE OF THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD AFTER WHOLE-BODY IRRADIATION (in German)

Journal Article · · Fortschr. Gebiete Rontgenstrahlen u Nuklearmed.
Extirpation of the spleen causes a rapid and intense recovery of the blood picture involving both the granulo and lymphopoietic systems following irradiation. The latter does not prevent the leucocytosis following the splenectomy. Irradiated animals with sham operations showed a high mortality, which was not found in those who had undergone splenectomy and irradiation. The red blood count is little affected by radiation, and splenectomy does not exert any reparative influences on this. (auth)
