Repopulation of Hematopoietic Tissues of X-Irradiated Mice by Cells From Leukemoid Blood

Abstract

Summary and Conclusion

Survival of lethally x-irradiated (BALB/c X A) F₁ hybrid mice was greatly prolonged by injection of leukemoid blood from (BALB/c X C3H) F₁ hybrid mice. Quantitative estimates indicate that many, if not all cells in lymph nodes or marrow of irradiated protected mice were derived from leukemoid blood.
