The kinetics of colony formation by CFU-GM in vitro. 1994

Video-recordings of whole normal bone marrow granulocyte-macrophage colony (CFU-GM) cultures were made after 7, 14 and 21 d. Retrospective viewing of the tapes allowed the relationships to each other of the colonies scored on the three different occasions to be documented. The results show that, according to our scoring criteria, there is very little overlap between the numbers of colonies scored on days 7, 14 and 21. Moreover, only about 10% of the progenitors in a sample form day 21 colonies. The remaining progenitors form colonies earlier in the culture period and either disappear before day 21 or remain small.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
