[Interaction of radiation-induced preleukemia cells and bone marrow grafts in C57BL/Ka mice]

The repopulation of thymus inoculated with radiation-induced preleukemia cells was studied in 400 R irradiated mice grafted with normal bone marrow cells. These marrow cells gave rise to an actively regenerating thymic progeny, as well as in 400 R treated mice receiving only a bone marrow graft. Moreover, the marrow graft did not prevent the progression of inoculated preleukemic cells towards lymphoma growth.
