Two Dimensional Cell Separation: Comparison of Embryonic and Adult Haemopoietic Stem Cells

Abstract

EMBRYONIC and adult haemopoietic stem cells have been shown to differ in such properties as proliferative capacity1,2, sensitivity to gamma irradiation3, suicidal levels of tritiated thymidine4 and seeding efficiency to the spleen5 as well as susceptibility to suppression of erythroid differentiation in polycythaemic recipients6.
