Megakaryocytes (MKs) are relatively rare in bone marrow, comprising <0.05% of the nucleated cells, which makes direct isolation from human bone marrow impractical. As such, in vitro expansion of primary MKs from patient samples offers exciting fundamental and clinical opportunities. As most of the developed ex vivo methods require a substantial volume of biomaterial, they are not widely performed on young patients. Here we propose a simple, robust, and adapted method of primary human MK culture from 1 mL of bone marrow aspirate. Our technique uses a small volume of bone marrow per culture, uses straightforward isolation methods, and generates approximately 6 × 105 mature MKs per culture. The relative high cell purity and yield achieved by this technique, combined with efficient use of low volumes of bone marrow, make this approach suitable for diagnostic and basic research of human megakaryopoiesis.
