[Factors that control stem cell differentiation. II. The sensitivity of T-differentiated lymphocytes to the action of radiation and cytostatics].

Bone marrow stem cells of the parent genotype (CBA) produce mainly erythroid colonies in the spleen of lethally irradiated recipients (CBA-C57Bl)F1. T d-lymphocytes change this differentiation pattern from the mainly erythroid to the mainly myeloid pathway. The irradiation with 100 R does not abolish this effect. The lymphocytes irradiated in vitro with 200 R or more, and incubated with Mitomycin C or Cycloheximide lost the ability to change the differentiation pattern of the transplanted cells. T d-lymphocytes are radiosensitive cells that need DNA and protein synthesis for realizing their function.

[Inactivation of the colony forming cells in bone marrow by allogenic T-lymphocytes].

Bone marrow cells together with allogeneic cortisone-resistant thymocytes or the lymph node cells of intact mice treated with antilymphocytic T or O-antisera were transplanted to the lethally irradiated mice. The antisera eliminated the capacity of T lymphocytes to inactivate allogeneic stem cells. Cortisone-resistant thymocytes displayed a strong inactivating action. The principal role in the processes of inactivation of genetically foreign stem cells was played by T lymphocytes. B lymphocytes possessed no properties of killer cells. The presence of B lymphocytes in the population of killer cells apparently failed to serve as a determinant one for the development of inactivation processes.
