The action of a thymic extract containing thymic polypeptides, isolated from bovine thymus, on the leukocyte count in the peripheral blood of X-ray irradiated rats was investigated. The results showed that the thymic extract increased the per cent value of leukocytes to about double in the irradiated and treated animals as against the irradiated and not treated controls. The stimulating action of the thymic polypeptides on leukopoesis and their radio-protecting action are discussed.
