Phenotypic characterization of human bone marrow granulocyte-macrophage
forming progenitor cells
MN Levine, JW Fay, NH Jones, RS Metzgar and BF Haynes
Cell surface antigens of the human bone marrow CFU-C have been studied.
Human marrow cells were incubated with a variety of monoclonal antisera and
complement prior to culture in semisolid media. By using indirect
immunofluorescent studies, the percentage of bone marrow cells binding the
antibodies was determined. The CFU-C phenotype is HLA+, la+, 4F2+, 3A1-,
and DUALL-1-. This study provides information that is useful in the study
of myeloid cell ontogeny and necessary for the use of some of these
reagents in the treatment of bone marrow cells prior to human bone marrow
transplantation in various clinical settings.
