โฆ Synopsis
Buoyant density distributions of hemopoietic colony-forming units (CFU) from normal mouse marrow were determined by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation in bovine serum albumin (BSA) gradients. The distributions were compared with those obtained for the total population of nucleated cells from normal mouse marrow. The buoyant density distribution for CFU was found to differ from the density distribution for the total nucleated cell population, and the portion of the total cell population with densities much less than the mean value was found to contain up to a 30-fold greater proportion of CFU than an uncentrifuged control. These results provide a preliminary approach to the purification and characterization of normal hemopoietic colony-forming stem cells.

Hemopoietic colony formation in agar occurred spontaneously in mass cultures of marrow cells obtained from a number of species (guinea pig, rat, lamb, rabbit, pig, calf, human and Rhesus monkey).

## Abstract Equilibrium density centrifugation was used to characterise and separate subpopulations of mouse haemopoietic progenitor cells capable of producing colonies of granulocytes and macrophages in vitro. The material used to induce colony formation (CSF) was prepared from an extract of pregn
Mouse bone marrow cells in suspension were separated into a number of fractions on the basis of cell density by equilibrium density gradient centrifugation, or on the basis of cell size by velocity sedimentation. After each type of separation, the cells from the various fractions were assayed for th
A two-stage procedure has been used to obtain hemopoietic spleen colonies derived from single precursor cells containing radiation-induced chromosomal markers. Of a total of 46 colonies examined, 17 were found to contain cells with abnormal karyotypes. In each of the 17 marked colonies, 90% or more
