[The effect of storage and short term cultivation the proliferation of mouse bone marrow stem cells].

Suspension of stored and short-term cultured murine bone marrow cells was i. v. administered to lethally irradiated mice. We demonstrated that the cells still after 72 h of storing and 24 h of culture in liquid medium were capable of proliferation and on day 9 following transplantation could produce colony forming units in the spleens of lethally irradiated mice. We established the relative participation of individual types of cells in the recovery of haemopoiesis in the spleens.

Experimental hypersplenism in mice.

The authors induced experimental hypersplenism in mice with repeated intraperitoneal injections of methylcellulose ("Tylosa", Messrs. Kabl). Detailed haematological tests of the peripheral blood, a cytomorphological examination of bone marrow and spleen from puncture material and histological tests of the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, liver, kidneys and lung tissue of hypersplenic mice were carried out. Among the haematological results, apart from findings of marked erythrocyto-, leucocyto- and thrombocytopenia, attention is drawn to the finding, not previously described in the literature, of lowered osmotic resistance and elevated phagocytic activity of the leucocytes of hypersplenic mice.

The absolute eosinophil count in experimental animals.

The values of the absolute eosinophil count in certain laboratory animals were examined and were compared with values in healthy humans. The method and the results extend the possibility of detecting and studying changes in biological processes in the organism of experimental animals.

Effect of prolonged exposure to a magnetic field on the haematopoietic stem cell.

The authors studied the effect of prolonged exposure (3, 4 and 5 months) to the action of a magnetic field of 180-200 gauss formed by the poles of a rotating permanent magnet on the haematopoietic stem cells of mouse bone marrow donors. The effect of the field was evaluated from the ability of the donors' bone marrow cells to form haematopoietic colonies in the spleen of lethally irradiated mice. It was found that the number of stem cells was not reduced by the action of the above magnetic field and that proliferative capacity was likewide unimpaired.

The effect of splenectomy on bone marrow haematopoiesis in mice.

Splenectomy was performed in strain H mice. Erythrocyte macrocytosis and an increase in the reticulocyte, leucocyte and thrombocyte count were found in the peripheral blood of splenectomized animals; only the erythrocyte count fell in the first 3 weeks after splenectomy. Changes in the myelogram during the first weeks after splenectomy were characterized by an increase in the proportion of cells of the erythrocytic and lymphocytic series. The stem cell count in the bone marrow (determined after Till and McCulloch) was slightly elevated on the 8th day after splenectomy, but in subsequent weeks was rather lower than the control group values. Whatever the post-splenectomy interval at which bone marrow was taken from splenectomized mice, there was no significant difference in the transplantation effect of bone marrow cells on white and thrombocyte haematopoiesis. Bone marrow transplantation was found have a stimulant effect only on the reticulocyte count and the sooner bone marrow was collected after splenectomy, the more pronounced the effect. Changes in the myelogram and splenogram of irradiated mice to which the bone marrow cells of splenectomized mice had been transplanted were relatively small.

Experimental infection of Macaca mulatta monkeys with Lednice (Yaba 1) virus.

Macaca mulatta monkeys were inoculated with Lednice (Yaba 1) virus strain 6118. The animals developed no clinical signs and the body temperature and values of complete haematological examination remained within normal limits. In spite of positive immunofluorescence in regional lymph nodes, no virus could be recovered from them by passages in mice. Viraemia was not demonstrated. The antibody response was directly proportional to the amount of virus inoculated, i.e. it was significant after a higher virus dose or after repeated inoculation. The results obtained are discussed in respect of and in comparison with serological findings in man.
