N2 - Our results demonstrate that in yolk sac, liver, spleen and femoral bone marrow of mice at ages ranging between 11 d of gestation and adult life, important changes in the stromal stem cell population (CFU‐f assay) occur which are correlated with haemopoiesis. (1) In the liver, spleen and bone marrow, high numbers of CFU‐f precede high haemo‐poietic stem cell values. (2) As haemopoiesis starts in the spleen. CFU‐f numbers in fetal liver are low. Similarly, CFU‐f numbers decrease in the spleen as bone marrow haemopoiesis starts. This suggests the existence of a migration stream of stromal stem cells. (3) In spleen and bone marrow, CFU‐f numbers decrease towards adult life as these organs maintain a stable haemopoietic activity.
