CELL-POPULATIONS IN THE BONE MARROW OF THE NORMAL GUINEA-PIG

Abstract
Quantitative data have been obtained for cell-populations in the bone marrow of the normal 400 g guinea pig based on a study of 25 animals. There was good agreement between two independent groups of observations and an average of 1880 000 nucleated cells per c. mm. was found. Of this total, 27% were lymphocytes, 31% granulocyte precursors and 26% nucleated erythrocyte precursors. Whole body populations have been computed and the implications of the findings discussed.
