Bone marrow origin of hepatic macrophages (Kupffer cells) in humans
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|September 8, 1978
Abstract:
Hepatic macrophages (Kupffer cells) from two male recipients of bone marrow transplants from females were studied for fluorescent Y body staining and sex chromatin (Barr body). After the transplant, macrophages had the sex karyotype of the donor, indicating that human hepatic macrophages originate in bone marrow.
