The combined radioprotection by preirradiation peroral cystamine and postirradiation Ivastimul treatment was examined in sublethally and lethally whole-body gamma-irradiated mice. The enhancement of haemopoietic recovery and increased survival of irradiated mice was demonstrated when a single dose of Ivastimul was administered after irradiation. Ameliorative influence of combined radioprotection may be explained by the haemopoietic stem cell protection by cystamine and haemopoietic stimulation mediated by Ivastimul.
