Popis: Thiorphan [(DL-3-mercapto-2-benzylpropanoyl)-glycine], a drug blocking the activity of membrane metalloendopeptidase EC 3.4.24.11 (CD10, CALLA), was added to long-term cultures of human bone marrow. Progression of the cultures was assessed by cell counts, cytology and clonogenic (GM-CFU) ability of the non-adherent cells in the supernatant and by morphology of the adherent stromal layer. A stimulatory effect on hematopoiesis was noted.
