- Description:
- The effect of immunomodulatory agents on reparation processes in the thymus was studied in mice injured by a single sublethal or lethal dose of ionizing radiation ranging between 6.5-9.5 Gy. Reparation of thymus weight was not influenced by pretreatment with immunomodulators. Furthermore, the morphological picture did not exhibit appreciable differences between non-protected and protected groups, except for greater proliferation of fibroblasts and macrophages in protected animals.
