Title: EXPERIMENTS ON THE MATERNAL-FETAL BARRIER IN THE MOUSE. II. A TEST FOR THE TRANSMISSION OF MATERNAL SERUM ALBUMIN INTO THE FETAL CIRCULATION FOLLOWING X IRRADIATION

Female rats on the 13th to 19th day of gestation were given 300 r whole- body radiation and injected intravenously with Evan's blue. No transmission of serum albumin, which binds the dye from maternal to fetal circulation, could be detected in either irradiated or control animals. The results indicate that mice resemble rats and dogs rather than monkeys and rabbits with respect to mother-to- fetus transmission of serum albumin. (H.H.D.)
