Defective transient endogenous spleen colony formation in S1/S1/sup d/ mice. [Gamma radiation]
- Military School of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland
WCB6F/sub 1/ mice of the genotype S1/S1/sup d/ did not form transient 5-day endogenous spleen colonies following midlethal irradiation, either spontaneously or in response to postirradiation bleeding. Their hematologically normal (+/+) littermates produced colonies equivalent in number and morphologic type to a normal strain (D2B6F/sub 1/), as evaluated by both macroscopic and microscopic criteria. Bone marrow cells from S1/S1/sup d/ mice, when transplanted into lethally irradiated +/+ mice, were able to generate equivalent numbers of transient endogenous spleen colonies (TE-CFUs), as compared to that obtained when syngeneic +/+ marrow cells were injected into lethally irradiated +/+ recipients. A defective growth of an early class of hematopoietic progenitor cells, resulting in the clinical course of the S1/S1/sup d/ anemia is suggested and confirms previous reports on the microenvironmental nature of this abnormality.
