MICROWAVE MODIFICATION OF X-RAY LETHALITY IN MICE,

Abstract

Fourteen and thirty days after mice received 2800 Mcycles/sec, pulsed microwave treatment they were subjected to 250KVP whole body x-irradiation at dose levels of 700r, 800r, and 900r. These dose levels are the thirty day LD30, LD75, and LD95 values for normal mice. Evidence of reduced lethality and tendency for longer survival times in the microwave pretreated mice compared with that of normal x-irradiated mice is presented. (Author)
