Inhibition of haemopoietic stem cell proliferation by a diffusible product of bone marrow cells. 1978

H B Benestad, and N G Testa, and L G Lajtha

In a double diffusion chamber (DC) culture system bone marrow cells elaborated diffusible factor(s) that prevented spleen colony-forming cells (CFU-S), but not PHA stimulated lymphocytes, from entering cell cycle. Mature granulocytes and macrophages did not produce such factors(s). Various number of steady-state or regenerating mouse bone marrow cells were cultured in single diffusion chamber for periods up to 7 d. After the initial cell loss,the net growth of CFU-S was inversely related to both total cell number and CFU-S number in DC. Diffusible factors rather than cell-to-cell contact appeared to be involved in the inhibition, even though we were not able to demonstrate inhibition of net growth of CFU-S with the double chamber approach.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
