Whole body X-irradiation and repopulation with syngeneic bone marrow have no significant effect on basophils and mast cell compartment of murine lymph nodes.
In mice the atrophy of lymph nodes following a whole body X-irradiation with a dose of 800 R is not followed by a depletion of their basophils and mast cells content. Repopulation of irradiated mice with syngeneic bone marrow cells has no significant effect on the basophils and mast cells number in the popliteal lymph nodes.
