โฆ Synopsis
Pluripotent hemopoietic progenitors lose potentialities during the process of differentiation. We have examined events that lead to lineage restriction by determining t h e cellular composition of 785 multilineage colonies grown from peripheral blood samples of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (Gd-PD) heterozygous volunteers. Of these colonies, 762 contained only one isoenzyme type and were considered to be of clonal origin. A considerable heterogeneity was observed. Some colonies were composed of cells belonging to two different lineages, while other colonies contained three or more different cell types. A small number of colonies consisted-in addition to myeloid cells-of T-lymphocytes. The variable association within individual colonies of members belonging to different hemopoietic lineages suggests a flexible determination and expression of differentiation programs by early progenitors.
