THE ORIGIN OF ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES IN MOUSE RADIATION CHIMERAS

This investigation attempted to determine whether the primary source of alveolar macrophages is pulmonary or hematopoietic. We have utilized an antigenic marker to identify cells of hematopoietic origin. Mouse chimeras were produced by irradiating C57B6/AF1 mice (900 R) and then injecting them intr...
