Effect of Polonium Alpha-Particle Irradiation on Reticuloendothelial Function in the Rat

L. W. Tuttle, Robert C. Baxter

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

are no longer able to contribute substantially to the body's defenses against bacterial invaders or other foreign substances which may enter the circulation. The fixed macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) then remain as the primary mechanism of defense. Considerable effort has been devoted to studies of changes in the effectiveness of the RES under a variety of potentially depressant or stimulative influences.
