Abstract [3H]Thymidine was injected five times in the course of the 24-h period into CBA x C57BL/6 hybrid mice in which about 40% of the tissue of the pancreas has been resected. The number of tagged cells in the islets and acini did not change with an increase in the time elapsing after the last injection of thymidine (5–18 days). The localization of the tagged cells in the pancreatic islets in the later stages did not differ significantly from that observed 2 h after injection of the isotope into the animals. On examination of medium-sized and large islets as far removed as possible from the site of injury, a very similar number of tagged cells per unit area was found in the central, middle, and peripheral zones of the islets 2 h and 18 days after the last injection of the isotope.
