Abstract
The effect of 600 r of γ-radiation on NZB/W and stock mice was studied. In both groups of mice more than 50% of the animals died from thymomas and a small percentage from other tumours. The deaths from thymomas occurred significantly earlier than the deaths from other tumours. The time of onset and incidence of autoimmunity in the NZB/W mice did not appear to be affected by the treatment. The stock mice developed no autoimmunity.
