Abstract

The concept of bone marrow transplantation dates back to the 1950’s when Lorenz and Jacobson first showed that injections of marrow cells into irradiated mice could protect them against the effects of lethal irradiation [1].They have subsequently shown that the protective effect was due to viable bone marrow precursor cells engrafting in the irradiated animal and reconstituting new bone marrow.
