The distribution of colony‐forming cells among spleen colonies
Abstract
Progenitor cells that are recognized by their ability to form colonies of descendants in the spleens of irradiated mice have the capacity for self-renewal. The distribution of new colony-forming cells per colony is extremely heterogeneous, indicating lax control of self-renewal. The capacities of colony-forming cells for self-renewal, for extensive proliferation, and for giving rise to differentiated descendants, fulfill three requirements for studies of stem cells. Thus, colony-forming cells may be considered to be class (though not necessarily the only class) of such progenitor cells, and the spleen colony method is a quantitative method for their detection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
