Abstract excerpt
This study reports the development of an assay, the Pre-colony-forming unit (CFU) assay, which detects human hematopoietic precursors. The Pre-CFU assay is based on the observation that precursors to CFU-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) that are undetectable in clonogenic assays differentiate into CFU-GM preferentially following treatment in suspension culture with recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha (rhIL-1...
