Experiments were made with 62 guinea pigs in order to determine the effects of single whole-body exposure to 100 or 500 r on the production of typhoid agglutinins. A considerable depression of agglutinin production was observed only after the first vaccination. After repeated vaccinations, an increase in agglutinin level was observed in all irradiated animals regardless of the dose or length of exposure. (R.V.J.)
