Immune Alteration Studies in Irradiated Dogs.

Abstract

The objective of this research work were to 1) serially evaluate the immune function of experimentally manipulated dogs to define the time required to normalize immune function; 2) identify immunologic lesions produced by the experimental protocol which causes a delay in recovery of immune function; and 3) define method of restoring immune function through the use of immune enhancing agents. Keywords: Radiation effects; Whole body irradiation; Escherichia coli; Sepsis; Military medicine; Medical research.
