Effect of conditioned medium on recovery of circulating blood cells in irradiated mice.

Abstract

The effect of supernatant of thymus-cell conditioned medium (TCCM) on blood element recovery in peripheral blood was followed in mice exposed to a single whole body dose of 5.8 Gy of gamma radiation. As follows from our results. TCCM administered 18 h before irradiation accelerated the recovery of the reticulocyte and, in part, thrombocyte and granulocyte counts. However, no effect on the rate of lymphocyte recovery was found.
