In vitro medullary granulocytic progenitor (CFUc) cultures from 6 cases of granulocytopenias. 1978

C Parmentier, and G Tchernia, and E Subtil, and L Diakhate, and N Morardet

Medullary granulocyte progenitor (CFUc) cultures were grown in vitro from samples taken from 6 patients with toxic granulocytopenia caused by either thiamphenicol cephalothin or amidopyrine and who are now apparently cured. A decreased in the medullary concentration of CFUc has been observed and a calculated estimate shows that there was a decrease in their absolute number. A decrease in the number of CFUc per 10(5) metamyelocytes suggests a possible compensation by mitotic amplification between the stem cell and the differentiated cells. Two successive cultures have shown that the course of such medullary cultures is variable. The existence of medullary anomalies before drug toxicity as well as the practical consequences of the contrast between the apparent cure and the decrease in CFUc are discussed.

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.
