It was demonstrated on mice that bone marrow stem cells migrate to the irradiated (2000 R) region of bone marrow, then migrate again (remigrate) to the rest of the body after irradiation thereof, with shielding of previously irradiated regions, repopulating hemopoietic organs. The data on survival of animals, cellularity of bone marrow, weight of the spleen and endogenous colony formation in it are indicative of remigration. The effectiveness of remigration depends on the size of the initially irrated bone marrow region shielded for the second irradiation, as well as interval between irradiations Remigration is manifested by a decrease in number of myelokaryocytes in the region from which it occurs, in accordance with repopulation of the rest of the bone marrow.
