| Abstract: | The number of colonies was counted in the spleen of irradiated mice after injection of a culture of mouse bone marrow cells. The colony-forming units were found to persist in the culture only for a short time. The use of a previously grown bed of fibroblasts of bone-marrow origin did not affect the preservation of the colony-forming units or the dynamics of the change in their number.Laboratory of Histogenesis, Institute of Developmental Biology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.
