title: Heterotopically induced bone marrow. I. Cellular composition of bone marrow derived from the heterotopic ossicles induced in mice by xenogeneic epithelia of human amnion and dog's transitional epithelium.
abstract: Following heterotopic osteogenesis by implantation of xenogeneic epithelia (FL and WISH cell line, transitional epithelium of dog) in mice a biogenesis of hemopoietic tissue among induced ossicles is observed. Precursors and mature forms of all types of blood cells are found in the induced bone marrow. The concentration of lymphocytes in the induced bone marrow is higher, and that of erythropoietic cells lower as compared with orthotopic femur bone marrow. The yield of myeloid cells varied from 0.14 to 3.61 x 10(6) cells per induced bone-containing nodule.
