Effect of gamma ray low doses on the system of the nonspecific defense of the organism.
The author studied the response of the mechanical stage of the RES phagocytosis and the serum lysozyme level in white mice after fractionated exposures to 10 R and 100 R daily. It was observed the activation of these systems after low summed doses and, on the other hand, its significant depression after high summed doses. The causes of these changes are discussed.
