| Abstract: | In mice given 3H-thymidine systemically during temporary circulatory occlusion of one hind limb, comparison of the labeling of rapidly-renewing small lymphocytes in the tibial marrows demonstrated that these cells were locally produced. Labeling by 3H-thymidine infusion revealed that many marrow large lymphoid cells, presumptive small lymphocyte progenitors, had a marked proliferative activity and rapid turnover which varied according to cell size, was maximal in young mice and declined with increasing age. |
