In this study, we aimed to evaluate the synergistic effect of high-dose radiation of radioiodine on the suppression of the immune system of BALB/cmice after receiving cyclosporine. A total of 50 mice BALB/c were randomly divided into two groups (control and test). Then, 50 mg kg-1 body weight cyclosporine was given to both groups. After 24 h, 0.5 mL iodine-131 was given to the test group and in the control group the same volume of normal saline was given. Data analysis was done using SPSS V.20 and p value }, journal = {American Journal of Immunology}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
