Abstract

Actinomycin D (0.6 mg/kg, i.p.) enhances the radiation response of mouse lung. The degree of enhancement varies inversely with the interval between radiation and drug treatments. The kinetics of the loss of interaction of the drug with radiation damage is similar to that observed for 'slow repair' of radiation injury to the lung.
