Semiannual Report to the Atomic Energy Commission

Description: Data are summarized from a series of recently published papers which indicate that the tissue iron enzymes as well as the blood hemoglobin level play a role in the iron-deficiency state. Results from a study of the derivation, roles and fate of the antibody-forming cell in the rat indicate that antibody- forming cells in lymph nodes may be released to circulate in the efferent lymph and peripheral blood. Evidence indicates that the circulating cells may still contain formed antibody. Because of… more

Semiannual Report to the Atomic Energy Commission. Studies on Erythropoiesis

Description: Progress is reported in studies directed toward an understanding of the mechanism of control of red blood cell formation. A relatively rapid and sensitive method of assay for erythropoietin was developed, using the rate of incorporation of iron-59 into the red cells of normal, hypophysectomized, or starved rats as a measure of the rate of erythropoiesis. Factors that control erythropoiesis through control of production of erythropoietin were studied. The effect of erythropoietin in initiating m… more
