Journal Article · · Acta Radiol., Ther., Phys., Biol., v. 11, no. 6, pp. 536-544
OSTI ID:4422303
A method for shielding of the thymus in mice during external irradiation is described. The results of the experiments indicate that thymic shielding during roentgen irradiation promotes the regeneration of extrathymic lymphoid tissues and the recovery of the number of lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood.
