Correlation of Animal, Crypt, and Stem Cell Survival in Fission Neutron Irradiated Mice: A Chemical Protection Study.

Abstract

The report surveys the effectiveness of newly synthesized antiradiation compounds (WR-2721, WR-77913, WR-638, WR-1607, WR-2347, WR-3689, WR-109342, WR-2822, and WR-2823) in comparison with the other protectors (MEA and AET). The effects of high energy x-rays (4 MeV) and fission neutrons was tested on (1) intestinal crypt survival, (2) lethality, LD50 and (3) total and per crypt cellularity.
