Figure 5.

Cytology of bone marrow of mice transplanted with various cell types. At 2 and 4 weeks after transplantation, 2 mice from each group were anesthetized and sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The BM cells from the tibia and femur were harvested for cytological examination following Wright staining. IR group (no treatment control) mice died 2 to 3 weeks post irradiation and thus no data were collected after these time points. The image shown is a representative from two mice in each group (400× magnification).
