Abstract
A transient increase in the number of peritoneal colonyโforming cells in agar (PCFC) was noted in the peritoneal cavity of mice given one intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate medium. This increase of PCFC was not accompanied by a similar degree of increase in the number of either pluripotent hemopoietic stem cells or committed hemopoietic stem cells for granulocytes and/or macrophages that are normally present in the peritoneal cavity in small numbers. Other substances, such as glycogen, starch, Freund's adjuvant, sheep red blood cells and lectins, were also capable of increasing PCFC, but to different degrees. The ability of thioglycollate medium as well as other stimulatory agents to increase PCFC appeared to be doseโdependent.

## Abstract Mouse peritoneal exudate cells induced by thioglycollate medium can form colonies in soft agar with a plating efficiency of about 5% (0.6%โ10%). Cells from an unstimulated peritoneal cavity form no colonies or have a plating efficiency of less than 0.001 %. These colonyโforming cells fr
## Abstract We investigated the effects of age, sex and strain in the induction of peritoneal exudate colonyโforming cells (PEโCFC) in mice. Sex and age (ranging from 3 weeks to 12 months) had no significant effect on the induction of PEโCFC. However, we found significant difference between strains
