Previous studies have identified novel lymphoid phenotypes in the adult human liver and provided evidence to suggest that lymphoid differentiation can occur locally in this organ. The aim of this study was to examine the adult human liver for the presence of hematopoietic stem cells that may provide

Abstract
Rats were given nearβlethal doses of xβray to produce clones of hemic cells marked by radiationβinduced chromosome abnormalities. Subsequently, bone marrow from these rats was injected into lethally irradiated mice to form erythropoietic spleen colonies; and peripheral blood lymphocytes from the same rats were stimulated to proliferate in a mixed lymphocyte interaction (MLI), an immunological response to histocompatibility isoantigens.
Chromosome markers indicated that in several instances the cells of an erythroid spleen colony and a proportion of the lymphocytes reacting in the MLI were progeny of the same stem cell in the donor rat. In addition, lymphocytes of the same radiationβmarked clone were shown to proliferate in response to several different histocompatibility isoantigens. The data indicate the presence in the adult rat of a primitive lymphohematopoietic stem cell capable of yielding both erythroid and lymphoid progeny. The findings also suggest that immunological specificity is determined during lymphoid differentiation, subsequent to the stem cell stage.
