Abstract excerpt
We investigated the ability of endothelial cells (EC) to support hematopoiesis in contact and non-contact cocultures with isolated CD34+ or CD34/CD38low cells. In the absence of exogenous cytokines, umbilical vein EC (HUVEC) efficiently support proliferation of hematopoietic cells and generation of colony-forming cells (CFC). Cytokines (IL-6, LIF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, M-CSF, but not IL-1, IL-3, IL-7) were detected in...
