Abstract
Kinetic investigation of spontaneous leukosis in AKR mice have been carried in connection with a number of indices: changes in the mass of principal organs of the immune systems (thymus, spleen, lymphatic nodes), liver, alterations of haematological data (the sum of leukocytes, the percentage composition of blood cells, the quantity of undifferentiated cells), changes of physico-chemical conditions in cells (NMR-investigation). The dynamics of some of these indices and also life-spans of animals with leukosis after irradiation with doses 1.2-2.4 cGy (dose-rate 0.6 cGy/day) have been investigated. The enhancement of the frequency of leukosis and shortening the average and maximum life-spans of irradiated mice has been found.Entities:
