p.3637 right column top paragraph:"Labeling of cells in the bone marrow that have a long postmitotic maturation period before exiting from the marrow might account for the late rise in label seen in some individuals. Estimates of the rate of production of B cells suggest that 20 to 50×10^6 pre–B cells are produced daily in young rats, enough to replace totally the peripheral B-cell pool of approximately 150 million cells in a very few days [primary source]." |
