SPLEEN-COLONY FORMATION IN ANEMIC MICE OF GENOTYPE WW

SPLEEN-COLONY FORMATION IN ANEMIC MICE OF GENOTYPE WW

E A MCCULLOCH et al. Science. .

Abstract

The hemopoietic cells from anemic mice of genotype WW are less able by 200-fold to take part in colony formationin the spleen than cells from the normal littermates of genotype ww. The genetic defect shows itself in the colony-forming cells, since cells from normal littermate mice formcolonies in the spleens of unirradiated mice of genotype WW. Use of animals of genotype WVVWT as recipients improves the spleen-colony method by removing bias resulting fromthe death of irradiated recipients.
