title: Studies on proliferation kinetics in liver and spleen during early graft-vs-host reaction in mice.
abstract: Autoradiographic and liquid scintillation counting studies were made during the early graft-versus-host-reaction in mice. At the height of GVHR on the 10th day after transplantation, hepatosplenomegaly correlated with the radioactive disintegrations (DPM). This coincided with a high proliferation rate of the blasts that appeared in the spleen, and of the portal infiltrations and Kupffer cells in the liver. Convenient control groups were used to show that these changes are a specific reaction in GVHR.
