[Effect of the thymus on the capability of stromal progenitor cells for intracellular repair of radiation damage].

Cells-precursors of haemopoietic microenvironment, as well as osteogenic cells-precursors, indicated with heterotopic transplantation of mouse bone marrow, can repair sublethal radiation damages. Thymectomy of the bone-marrow donors does not influence this capacity of the stromal precursors.
