Action of Co60 gamma radiation on the nucleic acid concentration and ribonuclease activity in the splenic tissues of inbred and hybrid mice]

The spleen tissue radiation injury expressed in the organ weight loss, nucleic acid concentration decrease and ribonuclease activity increase was observed to a greater extent in mice of the AKR line and to a less extent in those of C57BL line; C57BL X AKR hybrids occupied an intermediate position. It shows that animal radiosensitivity is probably determined by the genotype.
