  • 1. Institut Biofiziki, Moscow (USSR)

Description

In experiments with Wistar rats a study was made of the content of antibody-forming cells (AFC) in the spleen at remote times (3 to 12 months) after intravenous injection of 239Pu(4) in doses of 166, 55, and 188 kBg/kg body mass. The doses absorbed in the central and peripheral immunity organs were defined. Pronounced spleen hypoplasia and profound inhibition of humoral immunity were displayed 1 year after the injection of a small amount of the radionuclide. AFC deficiency in animals was amounted to 11-32 per cent throughout the entire period of observation
