Erythroid colony formation (CFUe) in fetal liver and adult bone marrow and spleen from the mouse. 1976

I N Rich, and B Kubanek

The methyl cellulose modification of the CFUe technique has been applied to 14 day fetal liver and adult bone marrow and spleen from CBA/CA mice. Optimized doses of fetal calf serum, alpha-thioglycerol, erythropoietin and cell suspensions have been obtained from dose response curves in order to standardize the technique. The slopes of the erythropoietin and cell dose response curves indicate a greater sensitivity by fetal liver to the hormone than bone marrow or spleen. The proportion of cells in the DNA synthesis phase of the cell cycle, as measured by the CFUe technique, has been estimated by administering hydroxyurea. Two hours after the drug was injected, 89% of fetal liver cells, 71% of bone marrow cells and 81% of spleen cells were found to be in the S-phase.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
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.

D004920 Erythropoiesis The production of red blood cells (ERYTHROCYTES). In humans, erythrocytes are produced by the YOLK SAC in the first trimester; by the liver in the second trimester; by the BONE MARROW in the third trimester and after birth. In normal individuals, the erythrocyte count in the peripheral blood remains relatively constant implying a balance between the rate of erythrocyte production and rate of destruction. Erythropoieses
