Abstract

The hemopoietic cells from anemic mice of genotype WWv are less able by 200-fold to take part in colony formation in the spleen than cells from the normal littermates of genotype ww. The genetic defect shows itself in the colony-forming cells, since cells from normal littermate mice form colonies in the spleens of unirradiated mice of genotype WWv. Use of animals of genotype WWv as recipients improves the spleen-colony method by removing bias resulting from the death of irradiated recipients.
