Abstract
The effects of ionizing radiation on the immune response have been extensively investigated during the last decades (reviewed by Anderson and Warner, 1976). Many of these studies were performed before the cooperative relationships among the various subpopulations of immunocompetent cells as well as their circulation began to be investigated. Though the circulation of sensitized lymphoid cells and their precursors is critical to immune responses in vivo, it remains poorly analyzed in quantitative terms.
