Abstract
RECENTLY, Barnes et al. 1 reported the survival for 150 days of CBA mice subjected to a dose of 950 r. X-radiation and treated with spleen or liver suspensions from new-born or unborn C57BL mice. In an attempt to clarify the secondary phase of the irradiation death syndrome, Uphoff2 observed the 90-day survival of (C57BL × DBA/2)F 1 hybrids subjected to 800 r. X-radiation following injections of suspensions made from C57BL or DBA/2 tissues. She reported that the use of fœtal hæmatopoietic tissues precluded the secondary phase of the irradiation syndrome for 90 days after irradiation, whereas injection of bone marrow suspensions did not.
