Abstract
Summary
In male BDF1 mice injected daily with Na2S35O4; radioactivity of the circulating platelets increased at a rate of 26% per day, reaching a plateau in 4 days. From the time required to attain maximum labeling of the circulating platelet population, the life span of mouse platelets is estimated to be approximately 4 days.
We thank Dr. M. Asano for examining the bone marrow sections.
