The effects of hyperthermia and ionizing radiation on chicken erythrocytes: A possible model for terminally differentiated tissues

The combination of hyperthermia and radiation produced more hemolysis than either heat or radiation alone. Postirradiation heating was the only protocol that caused prompt hemolysis and it also induced the greatest amount of hemolysis. The amount of hemolysis induced by preirradiation heating was very similar to that of heat alone. Additional hemolysis at 24-48 hours after treatment was similar for all heated groups regardless of radiation exposure. Less prompt hemolysis was recorded when irradiated RBC's were incubated for 2-24 hours prior to heat treatment.
