| Method |
(Primary source abstract:) "T cell subpopulations in the thymus, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes of normal, shamthymectomized, thymectomized, and splenectomized + thymectomized BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice were identified with monoclonal antibodies to Thy-1, Lyt-1, and Lyt-2 antigens at different times after the administration of hydroxyurea in a regimen shown to deplete cycling cells." |
| Comments |
"In one study, treatment of mice with the antimitotic drug hydroxyurea, which selectively kills cycling cells, reduced T cell numbers by 50% within 2 to 3 days (primary source)." |
