Hepatic macrophages (Kupffer cells) from two male recipients of bone marrow transplants
from females were studied for fluorescent Y body staining and sex chromatin (Barr body).
After the transplant, macrophages had the sex karyotype of the donor, indicating that human
hepatic macrophages originate in bone marrow.
