CHANGES OF THE CELL IMMUNITY IN CHRONIC ACTION OF IONIZING RADIATION

The continuous effect of radiocobalt (Co/sup 60/) on cell immunity was studied. The data show that chronic irradiation in low doses disturbs cell immunity. Confrontation of disturbances of the humoral and cell immunity divulged that they occur simultaneously in the irradiated organism. The phase of inhibition is preceded by the phase of stimulation.
