Summary
In the rat, X-irradiation leads to a decrease of the net RNA and DNA content of the spleen, without, however, increasing the low molecular weight nucleic acid derivatives in the acid-soluble fractions of the same tissue. It is suggested that an alteration of the cell membranes could account for the apparent elimination of these nucleic acid degradation products which should normally appear in the acid-soluble fraction.
