Wound-induced alterations in survival of 60Co irradiated mice: importance of wound timing.
Wounding mice shortly before or shortly after lethal 60Co irradiation enhances survival. Survival of wounded-irradiated mice may be due to enhanced hematopoietic recovery as measured by endogenous spleen colony (E-CFU-s) formation.
