Abstract
The numbers of pycnotic lymphocytes were counted in smears from cervical lymph glands of rats following roentgen irradiation. The time-effect curve showed a latent period of 1 hour; thereafter the fraction of normal cells fell exponentially with time. The percentage dose-effect curve followed a straight line on logarithmic probability paper; from this the LD50 dose could be calculated.Keywords
