title: Simulation of CFU-s kinetics after irradiation.
abstract: A simulation model of the CFU-s population is used to interpret data from experimental studies of bone marrow recovery after irradiation. The model includes an original hypothesis that the proliferation rate in the CFU-s population depends on the number of DNA-synthesizing CFU-s. It is assumed that the DNA-synthesizing CFU-s produce a factor in the presence of which CFU-s enter the resting state G0 after mitosis and remain there for prolonged periods of time. The model can adequately reproduce complex CFU-s kinetics observed after severe damage caused by irradiation with a unique set of parameters.
