Abstract

The purification of primitive human hematopoietic stem cells has been impaired by the absence of repopulation assays. By using a stringent two-step strategy involving depletion of lineage-positive cells followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, we have purified a cell population that is highly enriched for cells capable of multilineage repopulation in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) recipients. These S CID-r epopulating c ells (SRCs) were exclusively found in a cell fraction that expressed high levels of CD34 and no CD38. Through limiting dilution analysis using Poisson statistics, we calculated a frequency of 1 SRC in 617 CD34+CD38−cells. The highly purified SRC were capable of extensive proliferation in NOD/SCID mice. Mice transplanted with 1 SRC (at limiting cell doses) were able to produce approximately 400,000 progeny 6 weeks after the transplant. Detailed flow cytometric analysis of the marrow of highly engrafted mice demonstrated both lymphoid and myeloid differentiation, as well as the retention of a significant fraction of CD34+CD38−cells. These highly purified fractions should be useful for identification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate primitive human hematopoietic cells. Moreover, the ability to detect and purify primitive cells provides a means to develop conditions for maintaining and/or expanding these cells during in vitro culture.

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.
