Popis: In 11 patients with untreated pernicious anaemia the percentage and the 3H-thymidine labelling index of bone marrow lymphocytes and of E1 erythroblasts were determined. It is concluded that bone marrow lymphocytes cannot account for the expected flux into erythropoiesis; hence they cannot be the immediate progenitor's (committed stem cells) of erythroid precursors. It is suggested that in man the rapidly turning over committed stem cells may have the morphology of already recognized precursor cells.
