Lethally irradiated BALB/c mice (H2d) received transplants of 2 different doses (1 × 107 and 5 × 107) of T-cell-depleted bone marrow cells from the CD45.2 mice (H2b). Mice were killed at different time points after transplantation. Spleen cells were prepared and analyzed by flow cytometry. This is a representative of 3 similar experiments. Similar results were also obtained in peripheral blood (data not shown). All values represent total cell counts (× 106) per spleen (mean ± SD). The values of normal BALB/c mice (n = 20) are as follows: total spleen cells, 252 ± 55; CD3+, 133 ± 26; CD4+, 113 ± 24; CD8+, 20 ± 2; and B220+, 122 ± 25. CD45.2 mice indicate CD57BL/6, CD45.2, Thy1.2 mice.—indicates not applicable.
