Failure of Endotoxin to Protect C3H/HeJ Mice Against Lethal X-Irradiation

Renate Urbaschek 1, Stephan E Mergenhagen 2, Bernhard Urbaschek 1
PMCID: PMC421313  PMID: 338493

Abstract

C3H/HeJ mice are more sensitive to lethal X-irradiation and cannot be protected by pretreatment with endotoxin, compared to the C3HeB/FeJ strain. Lack of a granulopoietic response in C3H/HeJ mice is evident.
