[Relation between the radiation sensitivity of the rat thymus and the subpopulation composition of its lymphocytes].
The administration to rats of Freund adjuvant and conditions of their keeping in the autumn time reduce the mass and cellularity of the thymus and inhibit cell proliferation therein, the content of lymphocytes with high buoyant density being relatively increased. The indicated changes are accompanied by a two-fold increase in the death rate of thymus cells both after irradiation of rats and following four-hour incubation.
