An improved plasma culture system for the production of megakaryocyte colonies in vitro. 1979

H Mizoguchi, and K Kubota, and Y Miura, and F Takaku

A modified culture system has been developed to grow and quantitate megakaryocyte colonies from mouse bone marrow more efficiently than described in other reports. Using this method, it was shown that 30% of CFU-M in normal marrow cells and 70 to 90% of CFU-M in regenerating marrow cells were killed by high specific activity 3H-TdR in vitro. These results indicate that CFU-M are proliferating even in normal adult hemopoietic tissue, but that the proportion of cells that are proliferating is greater in regenerating marrow than in normal intact mice.

D001769 Blood The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (BLOOD VESSELS). Whole blood includes PLASMA and BLOOD CELLS.
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.
