Abstract

A nonspecific response of the bone marrow, consisting of an increase in the number of lymphocytes and a decrease in the number of mature granulocytes, takes place in F1(CBA×C57BL) mice in a state of stress. In the bone marrow 9–12 h after the beginning of the stress reaction to immobilization for 3 h the number of cells capable of forming colonies in the spleen when transplanted into lethally irradiated recipients is increased by 45–50%. This increase is interpreted as the result of division of stem cells as a result of a stress-induced change in the microstructure of the bone marrow.
