Abstract
AFTER local X-irradiation of the spleen of rabbits, a factor inducing a considerable drop of the reticulocyte number is released into the blood serum1. This factor is either gamma-globulin or perhaps a small molecular compound attached to it2. We have investigated whether serum or gamma-globulin from X-irradiated rabbits1 influences iron incorporation into red blood cells in vivo arid into bone marrow cells in vitro.
