ABSTRACT
The method of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence was used to study the affect of gamma radiation on activation of cells of thymus and bursa of Fabricius upon their adhesion on kapron. Thymocyte activation by adhesion on glass or kapron provoked chemiluminescence which was connected with the development in cells of active oxygen forms. The chemiluminescence amplitude was shown to increase with adhesion of thymocytes exposed to 1-5 Gy radiation and to decrease after a dose of 10 Gy. In cells of bursa of Fabricius, the analogous response to activation or irradiation was not observed.
