STUDY OF CULTURE OF BONE MARROW GM-CFU-C FROM 110 INDIVIDUALS WITH NORMAL HEMOPOIETIC FUNCTION / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Ribs were obtained from 110 individuals undergoing thoracostomy. Bone marrow from these ribswas cultured on agar plates. The average number of cell colonies formed on the agar plates was 164?10.4/2?105 nucleated cells (33.4+-571.6/2?105 nucleated cells). Factors which might affect theculture were counting method for the mono-nucleated cells, the method of cell separation, and the use of horse serum.
