Role of NK cells in resistance of Syrian golden hamsters to radiation-induced lymphoma-leukemia

The results suggest that hamsters are more resistant than mice to radiation leukemogenesis because their NK cell activity recovers more quickly after fractionated irradiation without marrow injection. This correlates well with, and further corroborates, the important role of NK cell activity in the...

Summary:The results suggest that hamsters are more resistant than mice to radiation leukemogenesis because their NK cell activity recovers more quickly after fractionated irradiation without marrow injection. This correlates well with, and further corroborates, the important role of NK cell activity in the prevention of irradiation leukemogenesis.
