The kinetics of granulopoiesis in long-term mouse bone marrow culture. Part II
International journal of cell cloning, 2 (6):

A mathematical model of mouse granulopoiesis in long-term bone marrow culture was constructed, based on established in vivo cell kinetic parameters. We applied the model to the cell kinetic experiment presented in Part I. Comparing model-predicted cell kinetics with the experimental data led to iterative testing of several hypotheses. In the final model, the cell kinetics of intact tissue culture flasks were reconstructed, using the experimental data from 10 days of tube culture. Among other things, our analysis suggests that the parameters of normal in vivo granulopoiesis apply to bone marrow culture.
