Number of mice irradiated/number surviving. Nearly all mice surviving were assayed for blood Pgk ratios. A few samples/mice were lost.
B1, prebleed; B2, 70-day bleed; B3, 130-day bleed.
r is the correlation coefficient relating the measurements of p on the same mice at 2 different time points. r has a range of 0 to 1, with values approaching 0 indicating a lack of correlation between the two groups, while values approaching 1 indicate a strong correlation.
