WHITE AND RED SPLEEN PULP RECOVERY IN MICE AFTER CONTINUOUS IRRADIATION

The process of spleen recovery after continuous irradiation with increasing daily doses was studied in histological sites. The histological picture seen immediately after irradiation gives evidence that significant changes occur in spleen white and red pulp. The lymphopoiesis recovery is slow and lasts till day 60 or 90 after irradiation. Erythropoiesis and myelopoiesis recovery of the red pulp is more intensive and is completed within 14-28 days in all 3 examined groups.
