Abstract
Investigations into the protective action of cysteamine against nitrogen mustard (HN2) are described. A selective protection upon the bone marrow as compared with the small intestine and spleen was observed. The comparative protective action of related agents is discussed in detail and an explanation is put forward for the variation in the toxicity of these substances.Keywords
