ABS>Thirty mice were subjected to a dose of 800 r of xirradiation, and smears of blood made from them at intervals up to 72 hours thereafter were stained for glycogen by the method of Shabadash. A fall in the intensity of staining was noted in the leucocytes after 5 minutes, and after 20 minutes cells were present which contained no glycogen. These changes gradually became more marked until 12 hours after irradiation, when cells containing more than the normal amount of glycogen began to appear against a background of gradually intensifying leukopenia. The rise in glycogen constant was only temporary, and a fall set in after 24 hours which continued until the death of the animal. (OTS)
