Intravenous administration of bone marrow to gravid rabbits subjected to a single whole-body x-ray dose lethal for fetuses (700 r) improved the course of radiation sickness in rabbits and in some of them preserved the progeny. However, in newborn rabbits there were signs of radiation injury and developmental abnormalities in most cases. In newborn rabbits of animals subjected to a lower dose of (400 r), which underwent bone marrow implantation on the 3rd day following the irradiation, the blood picture was within normal values, while in control rabbits marked signs of radiation sickness appeared. The degree of differentiation of the bone system in rabbits of the experimental group was higher than in those of the control group. (auth)
