A comparative study was made of serological immunochemical properties of immunoglobulins (IgG) isolated from blood serum of normal rabbits and rabbits exposed to lethal and median lethal doses of radiation. It was demonstrated that there is a distinct elevation of IgG level in the period of recovery from radiation sickness, with increase at this time in complement-binding antitissular antibodies in IgG, increase in anticomplement activity and rate of IgG catabolism in the normal organism.
