Abstract
The nucleic acid and protein content has been evaluated in lymphoid cells from the thymus and the Bursa of Fabricius of chicks exposed to different doses of radiation. A different response to radiation damage of the two cell populations is suggested by these analysis when compared with ultrastructural data.
