Proliferation Activity of Stromal Stem Cells (CFU-f) from Hemopoietic Organs of Pre- and Postnatal Mice
1987
Stromal stem cells (CFU-f assay) from hemopoietic organs of fetuses, in contrast to adult animals, exhibit a high proliferation activity. This implies that these CFU-f are radiosensitive and potential target cells after radioactive contamination of fetuses. Furthermore, the percentage of CFU-f in DNA synthesis is correlated with the hemopoietic activity in liver, spleen, and bone marrow. As hemopoiesis starts, high numbers of CFU-f are in S phase. In fetal liver, spleen, and bone marrow, values of 70, 43, and 58%, respectively, are reached. As hemopoietic activity decreases in liver and stabilizes in spleen and bone marrow, mitotic activity of these stromal stem cells becomes undetectable.
