A mouse model of lymphocyte infusion-induced bone marrow failure.

Objective: To develop a mouse model for the study of the pathophysiologic mechanism and treatment of human bone marrow (BM) failure.

Materials And Methods: Unmanipulated B6D2F1 or CByB6F1 hybrid mice were infused with 10-40 x 10(6) lymph node (LN) cells from their C57BL/6 (B6) parent. Pancytopenia was monitored by cell counting, while marrow damage was assessed by histological staining.
