It was shown in the previous work that an exposure to x radiation after immunization considerably decreases the immunity of animals to typhoid fever infection. It is now shown that revaccination carried out in 10 days following irradiation causes pronounced immunity in irradiated white mice, which is not less than the immunity of revaccinated animals not subjected to irradation. Production of immunity in revaccinated animals is due to the changes of immunological reactivity which is preserved in the irradiated organism and appears as a result of primary immunization, carried out before the irradiation.
