Synergistic Effect of Phosphorus32 and Colloidal Gold198 on Survival in Male Albino Rats.

Abstract

Data have been presented on the survival of the albino rat receiving radiation from internally administered P³² and colloidal Au¹⁹⁸. These isotopes have been administered singly and in combination. The data clearly indicate that P³² and colloidal Au¹⁹⁸ when administered in combination act synergistically in their killing effect. This appears to be related to the simultaneous injury of the reticuloendothelial system and the blood-forming tissues.
