Single cell origin of radiation-induced thymic lymphoma in mice with cellular mosaicism

  • 1. National Inst. of Radiological Sciences, Chiba (Japan)

Description

The clonal origin of radiation-induced thymic lymphoma was studied in mice with cellular mosaicism for phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK). Repeated whole-body X-irradiations (4 doses, 1.7 Gy each) with intervals of 7 days resulted in development of thymic lymphomas in the mosaic mice. PGK from all lymphomas gave only a single spot on electrophoresis. The results demonstrate the single cell origin of the thymic lymphoma. (author)
