[Kinetics of cell populations in the compartment of maturing, non-dividing neutrophils of rat bone marrow].

The kinetics of cell movement through the compartment of maturing, nondividing neutrophils of the Wistar rat bone marrow was studied by autoradiography using H3-thymidine. There were transit and reserved neutrophil populations in each cell compartment. The transit periods of the maturing nondividing cells, the mean time of cell renewal in the subcompartments of metamyelocytes, the band and the sementonuclear neutrophils were determined with consideration to the reserved cell population.
