Abstract
Adult syngeneic spleen cells, which protect against radiogenic lymphoma, failed to induce thymus recovery after irradiation. However, bone‐marrow cells, which afford the same protection against lymphoma induction, are effective in promoting thymus regeneration. Similar observations were made in the experiments on incorporation of ^3^H‐thymidine and ^14^C‐phenyl alanine into thymuses of mice irradiated and injected with spleen or bone‐marrow cells.
It appears that there are two different factors by which haematopoietic cells independently promote thymus regeneration and prevent lymphoma induction.
