[Role of bone marrow stroma in the phenomenon of hybrid resistance].

In the site of hemopoiesis produced by implantation of an irradiated bone marrow plug beneath the kidney capsule all dividing hemopoietic cells were of recipient origin, as shown by karyologic analysis. In such implants hybrid resistance was of the donor's type. It is suggested that the migrating cells of hemopoietic origin, including lymphocytes and macrophages, do not participate in producing the hybrid resistance.
