STUDIES OF SERUM PROTEIN IN SYPHILIS. III. EFFECT OF X-RAY IRRADIATION IN SYPHILIS OF EXPERIMENTAL RABBITS ON SERUM PROTEIN FRACTIONS AND WASSERMANN ANTIBODY
X rays in a dosage of 400, 800 and 800 plus 600 r respectively were applied to the entire body and immediately thereafter inoculation with syphilis was done. A decrease in leukocytes parallel to the amount of irradiation was seen in all but the group given 400 r. The appearance of symptoms was somewhat late in the group given 800 r, but no difference was observed in the others. Wassermann antibody titer was somewhat decreased in the group given 800 r, but no difference was observed in the others. Total amount of serum protein was slightly increased in the group given 400 and 800 r, but a decrease was recognized in the group given 800 plus 600 r. Serum protein fractions revealed a decrease in albumin and alpha -globulin and an increase in lobulin. These changes were great in those who received a large amount of irradiation. gamma - Globulin increased slightly in the 400 r group, but a decrease was observed in the group given 800 plus 600 r.
