Popis: The influence of adriamycin on the post-irradiation proliferative response of the mouse jejunum was examined. Doses of either 5 or 10 mg/kg of adriamycin administered immediately after abdominal irradiation reduced the LD50/7 days by 300–400 R. Neither dosage of the drug reduced the number of surviving crypts, as measured by the crypt isolation and microcolony techniques, for a given radiation exposure. However, both drug dosages reduced the amount of post-irradiation compensatory hyperplasia, as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation.
