When creating an experimental radiation sickness in animals, the development of deep immunodeficiency is observed, which manifests itself inhibition production antibodies to thymus-dependent antigen EB. Introduction animals with Ginger, Detoxioma, and Gulzar balm help increase immune mechanisms antibody production. Plant preparations can thymus nucleated cells irradiated mice. significantly lev...

The fetal thymus at 13 days of gestation withstands transplantation and develops normally under the renal capsule of a syngenic host. Distinct differences were observed between the fetal thymus grafts and grafts from neonatal or adult thymus donors. The fetal thymus graft did not undergo the rapid and severe necrosis observed when adult thymus was grafted. Furthermore, when thymuses were transp...

Thymus and spleen grafts from neonatal C57BL mice were implanted beneath the kidney capsule of (A x C57BL) F(1) hybrids. At various intervals after implantation, the grafts were analyzed serologically. Cells of each graft were tested for the presence of cells of host origin, TL (thymus-leukemia) antigenicity, and sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of guinea pig serum (GPS). Thymus grafts showe...

1. Though thymus-fed salamander larvae often metamorphose normally, thymus feeding sometimes retards and in rare cases inhibits metamorphosis completely. 2. The addition of normal food to a thymus diet abolishes the inhibitory effect of the thymus. 3. Addition of a small quantity of iodothyrin leads rapidly to precocious metamorphosis of thymus-fed larvae. 4. The inhibitory effect of the thymus...
