EFFECT OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ON THE LYMPHOID SERIES OF THE HEMOPOETIC SYSTEM OF GUINEA PIG (CAVUS PORCELLUS)

Abstract

Guinea pigs (C. porcellus) were exposed to UV radiation for different durations and hematological parameters have been observed after exposure. The observation gives a clear indication that intermittent exposure (15min, 30min, 1h) of mild doses of UV radiation shows immune response in terms of increased leucocytic count specially lymphocytes and neutrophil.
