Comparative study of cell transplantability of various hemopoietic tissues in irradiated mice

The transplantation effect of cells from various hemopoietic organs was studied in 626 irradiated mice. In experimental animals, peripheral blood reticulocytosis and the spleen differential count were also examined 9 days after transplantation. The colonization effect was mainly found with the transplants of bone marrow and spleen cells, embryonic liver cells and the liver cells of adult mice, and thymus cells. No effect was observed with the transplants of lymph node cells and of heterologous material (human embryonic liver and spleen). (author)
