Thymus cell variations in AKR leukemia. 1978

R M Zucker, and D M Helfman, and A M Tershakovec

The thymus cells from spontaneous and 1st generation AKR leukemic mice were investigated, using electronic cell-volume distributions. The growth pattern of thymus cells in the mice with transplanted leukemic cells varied with the type of donor cells injected. After the transplantation of leukemic cells into 2 month-old recipients, the cortex of thymus decreased in size and medulla of thymus enlarged. The thymus underwent atrophy next, followed by a proliferation of the large-sized cells (greater than channel 40, 136 micrometer3). The electronic cell-volume distributions of the thymus cells from the spontaneous leukemic mice encompass the distributions of thymus cells during the growth of the transplanted leukemia.

D009368 Neoplasm Transplantation Experimental transplantation of neoplasms in laboratory animals for research purposes. Transplantation, Neoplasm,Neoplasm Transplantations,Transplantations, Neoplasm
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013154 Spleen An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.

Usually refers to genetically disparate individuals in contradistinction to isogeneic transplantation for genetically identical individuals.
