The resistance of red blood cells to saponine hemolysis in radiation disease of rabbits and in irradiation of blood was studied. Irradiation of rabbits with a dose of 700 r causes rapid disappearance of low-resistant red blood cells from the blood and the formation of red blood cells resistant to chemical hemolysis. Accompanying lesions temporarily increase red blood cell decomposition. In rabbits irradiated with 1000 to 1300 r intensive red blood cells hemolysis began immediately and continued for up to 30 days. The appearance of resistant erythrocytes in the blood precedes active hemopoiesis and hemoglobin reparation. Increased resistance of red blood cells to saponine hemolysis is observed after blood loss and subsequent irradiation of the animals. Irradiation of the blood in vitro by large doses of ionizing radiation, in contrast to minor doses, lowers the resistance of red blood cells to chemical hemolysis. The discovered laws of red blood cell hemolysis under ionizing radiation permit the development of protective means against the lesion in question. (tr-auth)
