    Abstract:
    In the presence of the hemopoietic growth factor CSF-1, the later committed cells of the macrophage lineage can be detected by their ability to form small colonies in clonal agar culture (CFCCSF-1). Synergistic factors have been described that in combination with CSF-1 stimulate developmentally early hemopoietic progenitor cells of high proliferative potential (HPP-CFC). By using a monoclonal antibody to the Qa-m7 antigenic determinant, we investigated and compared the expression of Qa-m7 on CFCCSF-1 and on HPP-CFC of two types that grow in response to either 1) CSF-1 plus synergistic factor from human placenta-conditioned medium (HPP-CFCHplac+CSF-1) or 2) CSF-1 plus synergistic factor from conditioned medium of the WEHI-3 myelomonocytic cell line (HPP-CFCW+CSF-1). We have shown that HPP-CFC of both types express relatively more Qa-m7 antigen than CFCCSF-1 and can be separated and enriched on this basis by discontinuous buoyant density centrifugation and fluorescence-activated cell sorting of normal bone marrow. Significant enrichments of HPP-CFCHPlac+CSF-1 (43.5-fold) and HPP-CFCW+CSF-1 (28.8-fold) have been achieved with cloning efficiencies of HPP-CFC in the most enriched fractions reaching 4 to 5%. These results clearly illustrate the fact that there are populations of progenitor cells from normal, unperturbed bone marrow that strictly require a combination of two hemopoietic growth factors (CSF-1 plus synergistic factor) in order to be detected.
