The relation between the dose of x rays and the depression of thymidine incorporation in anoxic suspensions of rat bone marrow and Ehrlich ascites tumor is examined. The same dose-response curves for incorporation of thymidine are noted. The environment of the cell is thought to account for the lack of specificity of x ray action on thymidine incorporation. Curves for dose response of DNA precursor incorporation into human bone marrow and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma have a striking similarity. (D.C.W.)
