Colony forming cell assays for human hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) present in small numbers in adult bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood (PB) and umbilical cord blood (CB) produce a heterogeneous pool of progenitors that can be detected in vitro using colony forming cell (CFC) assays. Hematopoietic progenitor cells proliferate and differentiate to produce colonies of maturing cells when cultured in a semisolid methylcellulose-bas...
متن کاملHematopoietic colony-forming cells derived from human embryonic stem cells.
Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated, pluripotent cells that can be maintained indefinitely in culture. Here we demonstrate that human ES cells differentiate to hematopoietic precursor cells when cocultured with the murine bone marrow cell line S17 or the yolk sac endothelial cell line C166. This hematopoietic differentiation requires fetal bovine serum, but no other exogenous c...
متن کاملCytosine arabinoside reduces the numbers of granulocyte macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFC) and high proliferative potential colony forming cells (HPP-CFC) in vivo in mice.
BACKGROUND Cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) is an S-phase specific cytotoxic drug used in the treatment of malignancies. It is converted to Cytosine Arabinoside triphosphate (Ara-CTP) in the cell. Cytosine Arabinoside triphosphate, reversibly displaces deoxy cytidine triphosphate from DNA polymerase for incorporation into DNA. This process leads to cell death. OBJECTIVE To investigate the in vivo...
متن کاملIn vitro colony formation by normal and leukemic human hematopoietic cells: characterization of the colony-forming cells.
Agar cultures of blood and marrow cells were used to determine the nature and frequency of granulocytic progenitor cells (in vitro colony-forming cells) in 133 patients with various hematologic diseases, including 33 with acute and 17 with chronic myeloid or myelomonocytic leukemia. Cultures from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in relapse or in the acute transformation phase of chron...
متن کاملMeasuring Survival of Adherent Cells with the Colony-Forming Assay.
Measuring cell death with colorimetric or fluorimetric dyes such as trypan blue and propidium iodide (PI) can provide an accurate measure of the number of dead cells in a population at a specific time; however, these assays cannot be used to distinguish cells that are dying or marked for future death. In many cases it is essential to measure the proliferative capacity of treated cells to provid...
