چکیده

The virus-induced papillomas of cottontail as well as domestic rabbits regress completely within a few weeks when exposed to 5,000 r of x-ray irradiation. The x-rays do not immediately kill the papilloma cells, but lead to death by inhibiting cellular division and producing pathological changes in the cells which then continue to differentiate. The virus associated with the growths, however, not only persists in undiminished amount during regression, but often an increased yield of it can be obtained on extraction. The fibroma virus in crude extracts or in vivo is inactivated by far less irradiation than the papilloma virus. 10,000 r destroys 90 per cent or more of the infectivity of the fibroma virus, whereas at least 100,000 r is required to inactivate 50 per cent of the papilloma virus in extracts containing about the same amount of protein. No variant of the papilloma virus or fibroma virus has been encountered as a result of the irradiation.

The Effects of Roentgen Radiation on the Thymonu- cleic Acid Content of Transplantable Mammary Carcinomas*

Roentgen radiation has the ability to produce histologic changes in tissues and the death of cells. Many kinds of tumor cells are more sensitive to its lethal effects than the corresponding normal cell types from which they arise, but the intracellular mechanism by which the rays cause the death of normal and neoplastic cells is not definitely known. It has been suggested by Henshaw (9) that th...

The Roentgen Radiation of Papilloma Virus (shope)

Virus-induced papillomas (Shope) on domestic rabbits are susceptible to Roentgen rays. The dosage which uniformly brings about their complete and permanent disappearance has been found to be 3600 r (200 kilovolts), whether this dose be administered at one time or fractionally. 60 per cent of the tumors are cured when irradiated with 3000 r.

The effect of roentgen rays upon the electrical excitability of the human eye.

It was reported by Brandes1) that a sensation of light was evoked by Roentgen rays. Since then this phenomenon has been investigated by Newell and Borley,2) Belluci,3) Lipetz4) and others. Lipetz4) showed that the Roentgen rays produced a lowering in responsivity of the retina to light and Roentgen rays, taking spike potentials from ganglion cells of the frog retina as an index. Recently Tarusa...
