Popis: Methylcellulose culture assay was used to detect committed haemopoietic stem cells, CFU-C and CFU-E, in aplastic anaemia patients with autologous haemopoietic reconstitution. Severe diminution of CFU-C was found in all the patients studied and the absence of a dose-response to colony stimulating factor (CSF) was demonstrated. A reduced number of CFU-E and lower erythropoietin (Ep) sensitivity of those progenitors was detected as well. Autologous serum added to the bone marrow cultures of these patients enhanced the growth of CFU-C but inhibited CFU-E growth. According to the results presented, some residual damage at the stem cell level is suggested.
