TESTING OF ANTIRADIATION AGENTS IN MONKEYS, AS AMENDED

Abstract

Mercaptoethylamine and three coded compounds which have been shown to be protective against ionizing radiation were studied with respect to the evaluation of their safety when administered to rhesus monkeys. Various parameters such as body weight gain, hemograms, blood and urine analyses and histopathological observations were employed. A teratogenic evaluation of mercaptoethylamine in rats and a blood picture study in splenectonized rabbits which is now being carried out are described.
