Host origin of in vitro bone marrow fibroblasts after marrow transplantation in man. 1984

P E Hollings, and P H Fitzgerald, and D C Heaton, and M E Beard

Two female patients who received bone marrow transplants from male donors showed the donor karyotype in all blood cells cultured with phytohemagglutinin and in all cells of bone marrow aspirate after direct or 24-hour culture preparation for cytogenetic study. The donor origin of myeloid cells was demonstrated specifically by identifying the male karyotype in the dividing cells of granulocyte/macrophage colonies in soft agar. Only the host female karyotype was found in fibroblast cell populations from cultured bone marrow aspirate. Bone marrow aspirate from transplant patients contained cells of host origin and cells of donor origin; both will proliferate in culture.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
