Surface changes in irradiated thymocytes studied by partition in 2-phase systems and electrophoresis

A study was made of thymocyte surface changes 1-6 hour after the irradiation in a dose of 4 Gy by means of two phase partition in dextran-polyethylenglycole systems and of electrophoretic mobility registration. A decrease in the two phase partition coefficient (by 20% per cent in one hour after irradiation) was registered. The electrophoretic mobility of irradiated cells did not change.
