Immediately after irradiation the animals were injected intravenously with a suspension of bone marrow cells from unirradiated animals of the same strain. Compared to untreated control animals, there was a more rapid regeneration of the bone marrow beginning the third day after irradiation. Regeneration was more pronounced in the erythropoietic series; no significant acceleration of myelopoiesis resulted. The degree of hemorrhage noted on the third day after irradiation was less in the treated animals. The injected marrow did not affect the onset of marrow aplasia nor the circulatory changes seen within 24 hours of exposure.Read More
