The mid-line tissue LD/sub 50(//sub 30)/ dose for young adult dogs exposed to single bilateral whole-bcdy doses of Co/sup 60/ gamma radiation under the described conditions was 350 r. The radiation syndrome and pathological changes at autopsy were not different from those reported previously. The hematological, mucoprotein, and properdin responses were found to be similar to those for x or neutron irradiation. The incidence of bacteremia was lower than in x irradiated dogs. A correlation between leukocyte change between the seventh and tenth days after irradiation and decedence or survival is discussed. (auth)
