Figure 4.

Percent weight change of C.B-17 mice irradiated that were transplanted with either syngeneic (A) or allogeneic (B) bone marrow and monitored for weight loss over the next 6 weeks. (n = 6 mice/dose/irradiator). Weight change was evaluated (± standard error of the mean) relative to from day 0, prior to irradiation. Days indicated on the horizontal axis represent average weight change measured on the day indicated ± 3 days up through day 20 (ie, day 5 represents weights measured on days 2-6, day 10 represents days 7-11, day 15 represents days 12-16, day 20 represents days 17-21). Day 30 weights represent the average of weights measured on days 22 to 31 and day 40 weights represent the average of weights measured on days 32 to 42. See the main text for an explanation of these findings.
