[Methods of enhancing the radioprotective efficacy of serum immunoglobulin].

In this work the authors propose three ways of increasing the radioprotective efficiency of immunoglobulin: in vitro irradiation with gamma-quanta (60Co, 20,000 Gy), increasing the time of storage of whole blood (raw material for immunoglobulin production) up to 5-7 days at +4 degrees C, and the application of immunoglobulin with antibiotics. In experiments in vitro it was first shown that a combination of immunoglobulin with gentamicin exerted a pronounced bactericidal effect on E. coli. The effect was absent with immunoglobulin and markedly less pronounced with gentamicin used separately.
