Abstract

The reticuloendothelial system constitutes a major defense system against bacterial agents and plays a vital role in the regeneration of the hemopoietic system. Exhaustion of certain cells of RE origin has been proposed as the prime cause of death after whole body irradiation (2). It is logical to assume that the functional activity of the RES is an important factor in the resistance against radiation effects.
