Popis: In this study we investigated the role of histamine on the extramedullary hematopoiesis. Male histidine decarboxylase knockout (HDC−/−) mice and wild-type mice were used (n = 5/group). Groups of mice received sublethal total-body gamma irradiation at a single dose of 4 Gy. Spleen cells were studied at different time points post-irradiation by flow cytometry, colony forming unit (CFU) assay, and real-time PCR. For statistical analysis Student’s t test, ANOVA, and Holm-Sidak post-hoc test were used. By day 14 after irradiation, spleen cell counts increased almost eightfold in wild-type and not even fourfold in HDC−/− mice (P
