title: [Effect of single 60Co whole-body irradiation on the absolute count and degree-of-maturity distribution of reticulocytes in the rat].
abstract: Wistar-rats were exposed to a single 60Co-gamma-total body irradiation with 1.5 Gy, 3.0 Gy and 4.5 Gy. The trend of reticulocyte count and the reticulocyte maturation distribution were measured with an automatic analysis system over a period of 30 days. In all animals the reticulocyte count as well as the maturation distribution showed minima at the second and the twelfth day post irradiation. The duration of the minima were dose dependent. The changes of the reticulocyte count and the maturation distribution are equivalent.
