THE highly radiosensitive thymic lymphocyte (or thymocyte) suffers true physiological death shortly after irradiation with relatively low doses of X-rays. The most striking symptom of radiation damage is the loss of nuclear structure (pycnosis); the prominent chromatin granules and threads of the interphase nucleus disperse and form a structurally homogeneous basophilic mass1.
