Abstract
Results are presented from cherniluminescence assays performed with samples of whole blood and wool from sheep exposed to gamma radiation in a dose of 200 or 600 R. Assays for barium sulfate-stimulated luminol-dependent chemiluminescence emitted by whole blood of the exposed sheep showed decreased amplitudes of chemiluminescence bursts shortly after irradiation, while assays for the lioluminescence of their wool sampled at different times within a week postirradiation and then stored for six months before the assay demonstrated higher burst amplitudes for samples from the animals irradiated with the higher dose and increases in burst amplitudes with increasing intervals between irradiation and sampling.
