Abstract

The combination of two bacterial polysaccharides, Piromen and dextran, when they are administered intraperitoneally as two injections, increases the survival in mice receiving 700 r of total-body x irradiation. They are effective when they are administered 24 hours prior to x irradiation and also when they are administered 24 hours after x irradiation. If dextran and Piromen are mixed in vitro and administered as one injection, they are ineffective in modifying the survival of the irradiated mice. (auth)
