ANTIBODY FORMATION IN X-IRRADIATED RATS PROTECTED WITH RAT OR RABBIT HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4329786
Rats receiving lethal amounts of total-body x radiation were injected with liver cells from rat and rabbit embryos. Two to 7 weeks after this treatment, groups of animals were intravenously given a mixture of bovine serum albumin and Salmonmella typhi vaccine. Sera were obtained 1 week after antigen injections. Titers were bodies. Rabbit-treated rats had positive titer to BSA. They exhibited a delayed recovery of antibody-forming capacity to both of the antigens that were administered. Although rat-treated rats recovered their antibodyto BSA. These results confirm the observations that heterologous cells administered after total-body x iods of time. (auth)
