The cycling state of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (GM-CFC) was measured using the [3H]thymidine suicide technique in individual male B6D2F1 mice. The proportion of the GM-CFC population in S phase was found to decrease from 25%-35% at 1-6 months of age to about 10% in mice greater than 2 years old.
