This study was pursued on hybrid (CBA X C57Bl)F1 mice at the ages of 17 and 27 months irradiated at a dose of 4 Gy. It was shown that the postirradiation recovery of haemopoiesis in old mice was the same as in the young (2-3 month-old), and in some respects (for instance, granulocytic and erythroid cells of the bone marrow, and CFUc) the recovery was even more active exhibiting a period of a pronounced hyperregeneration.

Cellular composition of the bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood was studied after 6-hour immobilization on the back in experiments on 4 groups of (CBAxC57BL)F1 mice with varying degree of T lymphocyte deficiency (thymectomy, sham thymectomy, administration of antilymphocytic serum, B mice). The evidence obtained shows that the "lymphoid peak" recorded in the bone marrow during stress is likely to be formed at the expense of T and B lymphocyte migration from the peripheral lymphoid organs. The data have been also obtained, indicating that T lymphocytes migrating to the bone marrow during the first 6-9 hours after the exposure to stress may participate in granulocytopoiesis activation.
