* All deaths occuirred within 24 h after exposure; survivors are at present being followed for analysis of late paralysis. t 1400-3000 rad to the spinal cord; details of exposure as in Figure. Ip'< 0-001 relative to X-rays only; P< 0-025 relative to drug only. § P< 0 05 relative to X-rays only,(irtig only, an (d (I1tg after X-rays. which, as shown in the Table, produces no acute deaths, and 45 min after injection the rats were given graded doses of local-ized X-rays as above. The Figure summarizes the results of this pilot study through 9-5 months from exposure, and shows that MIS sensitized the ratsto radiation-induced spinal-cord paralysis. Theradiation doses required to p) roduce paralysis in 50%'of the irradiated rats (Finney, 1962) were 2246 rad in control rats and 1744 rad in MIS-injected rats. Depending on whether one includes or excludes the high-dose control groups and the assumptions made in significance testing, this sensitizer enhancement ratio of 1P28 (2246/1744) just achieves or just misses statistical significance at the 5% 0 probability level. Since these data are preliminary, and the raxv datacan be gleaned readily from the Figure, we leave the question of statistical significanceopen. Also included in the Figure are data for rats given the radioprotectant WR-2721 (200 mg/kg, 15 min before exposure) under the same conditions. As would be predicted from other analyses on the ability of this
