In a series of 5 dogs given dimetluylamide-ethoxyphosphorylcyanide (tabun) by intramuscularinjection in divided doses over a period of 10 weeks, the remaining activity of the cholinesterase of the erythrocytes could be accounted for by the rate of administration of tabun, the irreversibility of the reaction with tabun and the continual regeneration of erythrocytes with a life span of 100 days.
