We investigated the effects of the administration of FLT-3 ligand (FL) on mobilization of primitive and committed progenitor cells in mice. C57bl/6J mice were injected subcutaneously with FL once a day for 5 d at doses of 20, 100 and 200 microg/kg. After the collection of peripheral blood, we determined the number of white blood cells (WBCs) with the differential counts. The formation of colony-forming cells (CFCs) in peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen was evaluated. Although the administration of FL, 20 microg/kg, did not stimulate leukocytosis, its administration at doses of 100 and 200 microg/kg increased the number of WBC up to 1.7- and 2.4-fold, respectively. Committed progenitor cells were mobilized into the peripheral blood dose-dependently and the number of CFCs was increased up to 5.5-fold by the administration of FL at 200 microg/kg on d 5. The number of CFCs in the bone marrow increased, but not dose-dependently. The number of CFCs in the spleen also increased up to 32-fold at a dose of 200 microg/kg FL. Mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated mice and the number of CFU-S (d 12) was scored. A dose-dependent mobilization of CFU-S (d 12) into peripheral blood was also observed. These observations suggest that FL can mobilize hematopoietic primitive and committed progenitor cells into the peripheral blood of mice and those cells mobilized by FL may be applicable to peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008565 Membrane Proteins Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.
