Proliferation of diffusion chamber colony-forming units (CFUD) in cultures of normal human bone marrow in diffusion chambers in mice.
Normal human bone marrow contains cells capable of forming colonies of hemopoietic cells in fibrin clots in diffusion chambers implanted intraperitoneally (i.p.) into irradiated mice. The present paper describes the proliferation of such colony-forming units (CFUD) in cultures in vivo. Cells harvested from diffusion chambers after 1-14 days of culture in 450-R irradiated mice contained CFUD, wh...

متن کامل[In vitro chemosensitivity test by human tumor colony forming assay].
In vitro chemosensitivity of urological cancers was assessed by a human tumor colony forming assay (HTCA) and a 3H-thymidine incorporation assay. Primary tumor cells from 160 of 253 (63%) urological cancers showed adequate colony growth (greater than 30 colonies per well), and there was a 57% true positive and 100% true negative rate for predicting clinical response of anticancer agents. On the...
متن کاملThe soft agar colony formation assay.
Anchorage-independent growth is the ability of transformed cells to grow independently of a solid surface, and is a hallmark of carcinogenesis. The soft agar colony formation assay is a well-established method for characterizing this capability in vitro and is considered to be one of the most stringent tests for malignant transformation in cells. This assay also allows for semi-quantitative eva...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assay for Insulin-expressing Colony-forming Progenitors
The field of pancreatic stem and progenitor cell biology has been hampered by a lack of in vitro functional and quantitative assays that allow for the analysis of the single cell. Analyses of single progenitors are of critical importance because they provide definitive ways to unequivocally demonstrate the lineage potential of individual progenitors. Although methods have been devised to gener...
