Abstract

Flow cytometric DNA analysis was performed in combination with three-colour immunological staining of cell surface antigens on density-separated mononuclear cells (MNC) obtained from peripheral blood (PB) before, during and after cytokine stimulation of healthy adults. The aim of the study was to determine the cell-cycling status of haemopoietic progenitor cells mobilized into the blood of healthy volunteers during a 5 d treatment period with 5/micrograms per kg body weight of either granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-simulating factor (GM-CSF). Despite considerably increasing numbers of CD34+ PB MNC, the latter were not found to be in S/G2M phase, whereas, among the CD34- MNC, the proportion of cells in S/G2M phase increased from < 0.1% to 0.75 +/- 0.4% (GM-CSF) and to 1.34 +/- 0.75% (G-CSF) and dropped again after discontinuation of the cytokine stimulation. These cells expressed CD33 but were negative for CD45RA, CD3, CD19 and CD14 and were thus considered granulopoietic cells. Analogous results were obtained from analyses of cord blood (CB). In contrast, CD34+ cells from bone marrow (BM) were partially (between 9% and 15%) found to be in S/G2M phase. The non-cycling status of PB a...Continue Reading
