The haematopoietic stem cell in Rauscher virus induced erythroblastosis of BALB/c mice

article
The relative number of hematopoietic stem cells in the spleen of Rauscher erythroblastosis virus infected BALB/c mice remains approximately constant throughout the course of the disease. These stem cells have a normal differentiative capacity, as judged from the distribution of histological types of spleen colonies in irradiated recipients. Incubation of spleen cell suspensions with rabbit antisera to the virus leads to a drastic reduction in stem cells, indicating the presence of the virus in these cells. A lesser sensitivity to normal rabbit serum indicates the partial loss of xenogeneic antigen on the surface of infected stem cells.
