β¦ Synopsis
Colony formation and growth in vitro by C57B1 mouse bone marrow cells were analysed following stimulation by a standard dose of sexum colony stimulating factor. Under restricted conditions, colony crowding was observed to potentiate colony growth rates. The addition of thymic or lymph node lymphoid cells or nonviable bone marrow cells also potentiated colony growth. Extensive reutilisation of nuclear material by bone marrow colony cells was observed when labeled lymphoid and bone marrow cells were added to the culture system. The results provide evidence that lymphocytes can exert trephocytic effects on proliferating hematopoietic cells.

An analysis has been made of cell colonies developing in agar cultures from mouse bone marrow cells following stimulation either by neonatal kidney cell feeder layers or AKR lymphoid leukemia serum. Colonies arose by cell proliferation and were mixtures of granulocytic and mononuclear cells. Colon
Using a modification of the agar gel method for bone marrow culture, serum from various strains of mice has been tested for colony stimulating activity. Ninety percent of sera from AKR mice with spontaneous or transplanted lymphoid leukemia and 40-50% of sera from normal or preleukemic AKR mice sti

This technique was applied to study the DNA distribution of mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony forming cells (GM-CFc) grown in a methyl cellulose culture system.
