Description

The effect of 15 MeV fast neutrons on blood and marrow cells of young NMRI-mice was compared to that of X-rays after single doses of whole-body irradiation. Using differential cell counts in peripheral blood and bone marrow smears, quantitative data are presented. Complete recovery of peripheral blood and bone marrow cells to control values was not observed. Lymphocytic regeneration was particularly retarded. Irradiation with fast neutrons affected the regeneration of marrow cells more severely than with X-rays. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Wirkung von 15 MeV schnellen Neutronen auf Blut- und Knochenmarkzellen von jungen maennlichen NMRI-Maeusen wurde mit der von Roentgenstrahlen nach einmaliger Ganzkoerperbestrahlung verglichen. Durch Differentialzellzaehlungen von peripheren Blutzellen und Knochenmarkausstrichen wurden quantitative Daten errechnet. Eine vollkommene Erholung der peripheren Blut- und der Knochenmarkzellen zu den Kontrollwerten wurde nicht festgestellt. Die Lymphozyten-Regeneration war besonders verzoegert. Durch die Bestrahlung mit schnellen Neutronen wurde die Regeneration der Knochenmarkzellen staerker beeinflusst als durch Roentgenstrahlen. (orig.)
