'Chemical' splenectomy and the number of haematopoietic stem cells.
In mice subjected to chemical splenectomy by means of ethyl palmitate the number of CFU-S and CFU-C in bone marrow and spleen was assessed. In the bone marrow of chemically splenectomized mice a rise of CFU-S as well as CFU-C was found. In the spleen of mice after chemical splenectomy the number of CFU-S was reduced, while the number of CFU-C was elevated.
