Development of B-lymphocyte colony-forming cells in foetal mouse tissues.

In CBA and (CBA X C57B1)F1 mice, cells forming B-lymphocyte colonies in agar culture were first detected in the 17-day foetal liver and the following day in the spleen, bone marrow and peripheral blood. Colony-forming cells were not detected in the yolk sac or foetal thymus. Adult levels of colony-forming cells were achieved within 3 days of birth. In organ cultures of 15-day foetal liver or spleen, B-lymphocyte colony-forming cells developed during a 5-day incubation period, indicating that both organs can function as bursal analogues. Foetal liver colony-forming cells were of small size and generated colonies of cells with a pattern of membrane immunoglobulin similar to colony cells generated by cells from adult animals.

Globoid cell leukodystrophy in a Beagle.

Globoid cell leukodystrophy was diagnosed in a purebred Beagle bitch. Clinical signs and histopathologic and ultrastructural features were consistent with those reported in globoid cell leukodystrophy in man, cat, and other breeds of dogs. The occurrence of the disorder in 2 clinically affected females from a related litter and a familial history of inbreeding support the existence of a familial pattern.
