[Therapeutic effect of fetal mesenchyma in acute radiation disease of mice].

The effects of an intramuscular application of fetal mesenchym (Resistocell) in mice with acute radiation injury was investigated. A single dose of 80 mg/kg body weight one day after radiation exposure (LD70/30, 635 cGy) showed significant therapeutic effects. Further experiments are recommended in order to improve and explain the reported results.
