Remarkable differences were found between late erythroid progenitors (CFU-e) in cultures of murine yolk sac cells and those of fetal liver cells with respect to frequency, erythropoietin responsiveness and colony size. Cultures of yolk sac on day 11 of gestation showed a CFU-e population of lower frequency, less sensitivity to erythropoietin and smaller colony size than those from cultures of day 14 fetal liver cells. As the proportion of CFU-e to BFU-e was much lower in yolk sac than that in fetal liver, 48-96 h liquid culture experiments were done with these cells to examine the capacity of their precursors to generate a certain amount of CFU-e subpopulations. The cultures of yolk sac cells produced large numbers of CFU-e which formed some large-sized colonies but those of fetal liver cells generated only a small amount of CFU-e.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
D004921 Erythropoietin Glycoprotein hormone, secreted chiefly by the KIDNEY in the adult and the LIVER in the FETUS, that acts on erythroid stem cells of the BONE MARROW to stimulate proliferation and differentiation.
D006410 Hematopoiesis The development and formation of various types of BLOOD CELLS. Hematopoiesis can take place in the BONE MARROW (medullary) or outside the bone marrow (HEMATOPOIESIS, EXTRAMEDULLARY). Hematopoiesis, Medullary,Haematopoiesis,Medullary Hematopoiesis

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015017 Yolk Sac The first of four extra-embryonic membranes to form during EMBRYOGENESIS. In REPTILES and BIRDS, it arises from endoderm and mesoderm to incorporate the EGG YOLK into the DIGESTIVE TRACT for nourishing the embryo. In placental MAMMALS, its nutritional function is vestigial; however, it is the source of INTESTINAL MUCOSA; BLOOD CELLS; and GERM CELLS. It is sometimes called the vitelline sac, which should not be confused with the VITELLINE MEMBRANE of the egg.
