Abstract
Rats given lethal doses of total-body x-irradiation were treated with liver cells obtained from rat and rabbit embryos. Two to 7 weeks after this treatment, groups of animals were stimulated with a mixture of Bovine Serum Albumin and Salmonella typhi vaccine intravenously. Rats were bled 1 week after antigen injections and titers were performod for detection of antityphoid and anti-BSA antibody. Rabbit-treated rats showed a positive titer to BSA and a delay in recovery of antibody-forming capacity to both antigens administered. Although rat-treated rats recovered their antibody-forming capicity earlier, they did not show any response to BSA. Possible implications of these phenomena are discussed. (auth)
