Description/Abstract:
BLOOD SAMPLES OF SOME HIGHLY INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED GOIANIAN PATIENTS WERE MEASURED FOR 137 GS ACTIVITY. THE DISTRIBUTION OF ACTIVITY AMONG THE BLOOD COMPONENTS WAS CHECKED. WE FOUND THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WAS CONFINED TO THE CELLULAR FRACTION, MAINLY TO THE ERYTHROCYTES (RED CELLS).
