Characteristics of changes of personal odor after experimental bone marrow transplantation

In an operant conditioning paradigm 4 Balb/c inbred strain mice were conditioned to discriminate between ruine samples of two other inbred strains. The purpose was to examine whether or not the known stimulus configuration during training had any effect upon the rate of recognition of other stimuli. On the basis of this procedure, we subsequently investigated the extent to which an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation interferes with the olfactory identity of an individual.
