Rats were exposed to 840 R radiation and given calf thymus DNA. No appreciable differences were noted in the number of polyploid and aneuploid metaphases in the bone marrow of rats treated with radiation and DNA. However, there were fewer cells with structural chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of treated animals. The reduction of radioinduced chromosomal aberrations of DNA-treated rats were of both the chromatid and chromosome types. (HLW)
