Presence of mast cell precursors in peripheral blood of mice demonstrated by parabiosis
Abstract
The presence of mast cell precursors in peripheral blood was examined. The beige C57BL/6 (bgj/bgj, Chediak-Higashi syndrome) mouse was parabiosed with the normal C57BL/6 mouse. Mast cells containing giant granules and originating in the beige partner appeared in the normal parabiont. A comparable proportion of normal-mouse-type mast cells developed in the beige parabiont as well. In spite of the low radiosensitivity of mature mast cells, irradiation of the normal parabiont reduced the proportion of normal-mouse-type mast cells appearing in the beige partner. It was concluded, therefore, that the precursors of mast cells can migrate through the bloodstream.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
