Title: TIME-INTENSITY FACTORS IN RADIATION RESPONSE. II. SOME GENETIC FACTORS IN BRAIN DAMAGE

Journal Article · · A.M.A. Arch. Pathol.
OSTI ID:4276923

One-hundred male and female mice, 25 each of four strains; DBA/2, DBA/1, LAF/sub 1/, and C57, 3 to 5 months old, were exposed to 30,000 rad of 3-Mev x radiation in one second. Animals that survived more than 24 hours were autopsied, and microscopic study of the brain was carried out. The results are discussed with respect to differences among strains, demarcated lesions, and genetic patterns of brain metabolism and radiation damage. (T.R.H.)
