[Reaction of the blood forming system of the dogs to acute radiation exposure (by the SRC-Institute of biophysics data bank)].

At present time in the SRC--Institute of Biophysics the data bank containing the information on the reactions of 431 dogs to radiation exposure in a wide range of doses has been created. By the results of 4299 blood tests reporting a leukocyte content, including 2509 tests reporting a blood formula, the individual peculiarity of the peripheral blood reaction in dogs were analyzed. Dose dependencies for the reaction of blood-forming system to radiation exposure to doses in the range from 1.0 to 7.0 Gy were obtained. In comparison with the similar data for humans, the neutrophil content in peripheral blood decreased approximately 1.5-2.0 times faster in dogs than in men, resulting in earlier recovery.

[Antiradiation effects of leucynferon on dogs and guinea pigs].

In experiments with two species of animals (dogs, guinea pigs) irradiated with sublethal and lethal doses of gamma-rays, it was observed, that leucynferon had antiradiation effect. Course of injections: dogs--8 injections subcutaneus: 2.0 ml (1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 14, 21, 34 days after irradiation); guinea pigs--14 injections subcutaneus, 0.2 ml (1-14 days after irradiation). Therapeutical effect was explained by capacity of the preparation to defend the hemopoietic organs from the radiation and to stimulate hemopoiesis. Leucynferon hindered the development of acute radiation sickness symptoms. Immunoreactivity of dogs and guinea pigs in experimental group was more complete and restored faster. The growth of the automicroflora on the skin was restrained. Production of interferon-gamma (which is a function of T-lymphocytes) was restored faster.

[The anti-infective action of immunoglobulins administered at delayed times after irradiation].

In experiments with CBA and CBA X C57Bl(F-1) mice it was shown that the radio-protective efficacy and the anti-infectious influence of homo- and heterologous immunoglobulin (IG) applied one, two and three times in the period from 4h to 9 days following irradiation with doses of LD80-95/30. This was displayed by the increased survival rate and normalization of intestinal microflora in treated animals in comparison with untreated ones. Heterologous IG administered at varying times (5 to 20 days) after irradiation with the dose of 4.8 Gy increased the resistance of treated mice to infection with living E. coli culture.

[Methods of enhancing the radioprotective efficacy of serum immunoglobulin].

In this work the authors propose three ways of increasing the radioprotective efficiency of immunoglobulin: in vitro irradiation with gamma-quanta (60Co, 20,000 Gy), increasing the time of storage of whole blood (raw material for immunoglobulin production) up to 5-7 days at +4 degrees C, and the application of immunoglobulin with antibiotics. In experiments in vitro it was first shown that a combination of immunoglobulin with gentamicin exerted a pronounced bactericidal effect on E. coli. The effect was absent with immunoglobulin and markedly less pronounced with gentamicin used separately.

[Comparative radioprotective efficacy of native and irradiated in vitro immunoglobulins from horse serum].

The therapeutic application of native and in vitro exposed (20000 Gy immunoglobulins of horse blood serum increased the survival of irradiated (LD75-95) animals, normalized the quantitative and qualitative status of the small intestine microflora and prevented enterobacteria from penetrating the internal organs. The irradiated preparations were more active than native ones.

[The radioprotective and interferonogenic properties of influenza vaccine].

Different methods of prophylactic treatment with influenza virus vaccine increase survival of irradiated mice and hamsters by 25-55% as compared to unprotected ones. Higher radioresistance occurs in the same time intervals as a rise of interferon in the blood after immunization with influenza virus vaccine.

[Immunopharmacological analysis of secondary postradiation immunodeficiency].

A model for secondary postradiation immunodeficiency of mice has been used to compare immunocorrective activities of some new immunomodulators (arbidol, cagocel, myelopid, proleukinferon and fragmine) administered at late times (2-3 months) after exposure to a nonlethal radiation dose (4.0 Gy). The highest immunocorrective effect has been shown with fragmine and proleukinferon.

[Effect of bacterial preparations on the hematopoiesis of irradiated animals].

It was shown in experiments with mice and dogs that bacterial preparations (vaccinum proteus, prodigiosanum, bificolum and bificolum-f) administered before or after gamma-irradiation have a stimulating effect on hemopoiesis. It is supposed that bacterial polysaccharides play an important role in this action.
