The L4F3 antigen is expressed by unipotent and multipotent colony- forming
cells but not by their precursors
RG Andrews, M Takahashi, GM Segal, JS Powell, ID Bernstein and JW Singer
Antibody L4F3 is a murine monoclonal antibody that recognizes an antigen
expressed on in vitro colony-forming cells, including virtually all CFU-GM,
CFU-Meg, BFU-E, and CFU-Mix. In the present study we examined whether cells
that do not express the L4F3 antigen include precursors of hematopoietic
colony-forming cells. Colony-forming cells were depleted from marrow by
treatment with L4F3 and complement. The remaining cells generated CFU-GM,
BFU-E, and CFU-Mix when cultured in the presence of irradiated adherent
cell layers from long-term marrow cultures. Marrow cells not expressing the
L4F3 antigen, which were separated by cell-sorting techniques, were
depleted of colony-forming cells but nevertheless generated CFU-GM when
cultured over irradiated adherent cell layers. These data suggest that
there are marrow precursors that do not express the L4F3 antigen and that
give rise to colony-forming cells of multiple types. Negative selection
techniques should allow the enrichment of these precursors of
colony-forming cells, thereby enabling direct studies of these immature
stem cells.
