Assay of Colony Forming Units in Culture (cfu-c)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The colony forming units in culture (cfu-c) in bone marrowcells, which were suppressed by immunosuppressive factor obtained from the serum of sarcoma 180 tumor bearing mouse, was restored to normal level by the addition of FR-900490in vitro. Furthermore, in mitomycin C (MMC)-treated mice the subsequent administration of FR-900490caused a significant increase of cfu-c in bone marrow cells depressed by MMC.

Purification and partial characterization of a human hematopoietic precursor population.
This study reports the development of an assay, the Pre-colony-forming unit (CFU) assay, which detects human hematopoietic precursors. The Pre-CFU assay is based on the observation that precursors to CFU-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) that are undetectable in clonogenic assays differentiate into CFU-GM preferentially following treatment in suspension culture with recombinant human interleukin-...

Introduction: Endothelial progenitor colony forming unit-endothelial cells (CFU-EC) were first believed to be the progenitors of endothelial cells, named endothelial progenitor cells. Further studies revealed that they are monocytes regulating vasculogenesis. The main hindrance of these cells for therapeutic purposes is their low frequency and limited replicative potentials. This study was unde...
متن کاملInhibition of hematopoiesis in normal human long-term marrow cultures treated with recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
The effects of recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhCSF-1) in long-term marrow cultures (LTMC) established from normal bone marrow cells were examined. When added during the first 3 weeks of culture (every second day, at 15 ng/mL), rhCSF-1 strongly inhibited the growth of all hematopoietic progenitors analyzed (colony-forming unit-MIX [CFU-MIX], CFU-granulocyte macrophage [...
متن کاملInduction of proliferation of purified human myeloid progenitor cells: a rapid assay for granulocyte colony-stimulating factors.
The proliferation and differentiation of granulocyte and monocyte progenitor cells (CFU-C) in vitro is dependent on the presence of a group of closely related glycoproteins termed colony-stimulating factors (CSF). In order to investigate the interaction of these factors with CFU-C, we purified CFU-C from the peripheral blood of chronic myeloid leukemia patients with an immune rosette technique ...
متن کاملEnforced TAL-1 expression stimulates primitive, erythroid and megakaryocytic progenitors but blocks the granulopoietic differentiation program.
In human adult hematopoiesis, the TAL-1 gene is up- and down-modulated in erythropoiesis and granulopoiesis, respectively [G. L. Condorelli et al., Blood, 86: 164-175, 19951. Here, it is shown that, in a hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) unilineage differentiation culture, tal-1 is induced and then expressed, in a sustained manner, in the megakaryopoietic lineage, whereas it is barely or not ...
