OBJECTIVE: Bone marrow sinusoids remain predominantly host-derived following bone
marrow transplantation. Systematic analysis was conducted at the cellular level to
investigate how the host sinusoidal structures survived after lethal irradiation. MATERIALS
AND METHODS: Apoptosis and cell proliferation assays were performed on bone marrow
sections at various time points during the first 2 weeks postirradiation to study the extent of
damage to sinusoidal endothelial cells from lethal irradiation and to determine whether cell …
