Human erythroid progenitor cells express Rhesus antigens. 1985

J H Falkenburg, and W E Fibbe, and N van der Vaart-Duinkerken, and M E Nichols, and P Rubinstein, and J Jansen

The expression of Rhesus antigens on hematopoietic progenitor cells was studied using monoclonal antibodies. Because these antibodies are not capable of lysing mature red blood cells in a complement-dependent cytotoxicity assay, fluorescence-activated cell sorting was performed. Using the monoclonal anti-Rh 29 antibody B10, 68% +/- 6% of the mature erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E) were sorted into the positive fraction, while only 2% +/- 1% of the relatively immature erythroid progenitor cells (BFU-E), and 3% +/- 1% of the granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) were cultured from this same fraction. Thus up to a 15-fold enrichment of CFU-E could be obtained. In two experiments more than 4% of the cells in the positive fraction consisted of CFU-E; in one experiment even more than 7% did. Using fractionated cell sorting, the Rhesus antigens appeared to have a lower density on CFU-E than HLA-DR determinants. Antibodies against the Rhesus antigens can be applied to enrich erythroid-committed stem cells and to separate mature from immature erythroid progenitor cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
