HISTOLOGICAL AND AUTORADIOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN LOCALLY IRRADIATED LYMPH NODES (AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON RABBITS)
Abstract
The authors studied the local effect of 3000 Rx1
X-ray irradiation on the popliteal lymph nodes of
rabbits. Beside the morpho-histological description
autoradiography was performed after injection of
H3-thymidine in the afferent lymphatic of the
irradiated knee node. The main finding is the appearence
of newly-formed germinal centers between
the 6- 10 days after irradiation.
