Abstract

This investigation was undertaken to determine whether primitive stem cells and/or fully differentiated macrophages were the source of in vitro colonies derived from hematopoietic tissues.

The chicken colony‐forming cell (CFC) present in uncultured yolk sac was a nonadherent, presumably undifferentiated cell. The efficiency of colony formation in this case was approximately 0.08%. In contrast to uncultured yolk sac, the CFC present in one‐week old yolk sac cultures was evidently a macrophage. Yolk sac cultures, which consisted of greater than 99% macrophages, produced colonies with an efficiency of 1–5% while cultures derived from peritoneal macrophages produced colonies with an efficiency of 10%. Silica selectively destroyed macrophages and reduced the colony forming efficiency of cells derived from yolk sac cultures.

Based on the presence of immature cells in fetal blood, and in an attempt to shorten the cytogenetic reporting time, three simultaneous one-day culture regimes were established in 23 fetal blood samples: (a) the standard phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphocytes culture, (b) a culture using th
