Tentative evidence for 3?4 haematopoetic stem cells in man

Abstract: Blood specimens from a random sample of 981 South African Negroid females were typed electrophoretically inter alia for their G-6-PD phenotypes, The allele frequency for GdB and GdnonB was found to be 0.8126 and 0.1874 respectively. Calculating the number of individuals expected for each phenotypic class, a highly significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium became manifest, i.e. there was a deficit of 24.6% of heterozygotes and an excess of 12.3% of each of the two classes of homozygotes. Several… Show more

“…Increasing experimental evidence suggests that this pool of stem cells is heterogenous, comprising of a number of sub-populations (Duplan and Legrand, 1979;Samarut et al, 1976;Hitzeroth, 1977). The radiosensitivities of these subpopulations are not known but they may be expected not to differ significantly from one another.…”

“…The primary information about ARCH was collected from the study of hematopoietic stem cells. The very first study used hematopoietic stem cells collected from the South African Negro population, using the marker of X-linked enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) [ 43 ]. The study demonstrated that the reduced heterozygosity in blood stem cells was increasing with aging [ 44 ].…”

“…For glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase B/A heterozygotes, Fialkow [34] estimated that at the time of inactivation the primordial cell pool size was sixteen (ten to twenty-four cells) for various tissues, including haemopoietic system. Other authors calculated less than eight [35] or even less than four [36] cells, using also glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants as an example. On the basis of enzyme activity, we computed for PGK Miinchen a precursor pool of three cells.…”
