In effective thrombopoies is has been inferred to occur in several disease sates from considerations of megakaryocyte mass and platelet kinetics. Microscopic examination has demonstrated increased numbers of megakaryocytes, with a typical forms particularly pronounced, in primary myelofibrosis. It has not been documented if megakaryocyte ever fail to reach maturity in non-pathological situations. A major difficulty of establishing this is that the number of megakaryocytes normally present in the marrow is extremely low. A large transient increase in megakaryocytopoiesis can how ever be induced in mice by an injection of 5-fluorouracil. We have utilised this treatment and report here evidence for in effective thrombopoies is in healthy mice.Adult mice were perfused (2% glutaraldehyde in 0.08M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4) 8 days following an injection of 5-fluorouracil (150mg/kg). Femurs were subsequently decalcified in 10% neutral E.D.T.A. and embedded in Spurrs resin. Transverse sections of marrow revealed many megakaryocytes at various stages of maturity. Occasional megakaryocytes (less than 1%) were found to be under going degeneration prior to achieving full maturation and releasing cytoplasm as platelets. These cells were characterized by a peripheral rim of dense cytoplasm which enveloped a mass of organelles and vacuoles (Fig. 1). Numerous microtubules were foundaround and with in the organelle-rich zone (Fig 2).

Intravascular clearance rates of gelatin-stabilized gold were compared with circulating titers of gelatin agglutinins in rats at increasing time intervals after blockading injections of gelatin-stabilized gold and S. marcescens endotoxin. The degree and duration of reticuloendothelial system (RES) blockade against the homologous colloid were directly related to the circulating levels of gelatin agglutinins. In contrast, plasma agglutinins were not decreased in endotoxin-induced blockade against the gelatin-stabilized colloid. In a further experiment, the plasma response to blockading injections of colloidal thorium dioxide, iron oxide, and zymosan was characterized by a transient increase in gelatin agglutinins suggesting the nonspecific release of opsonins from an extravascular source. The findings indicated that clearance rates of gelatin-stabilized colloids were dependent on the total available opsonin in the rat rather than the total circulating opsonin. It is suggested that RES blockade is effected by the prior nonspecific depletion of opsonins from an extravascular reserve which is the major component of the total available opsonin.
