The dilution factor of intravenously injected hemopoietic stem cells

Abstract: In order to measure the total number of stem cells present in a given preparation, it is necessary to know the fraction of stem cells which settle in the spleen and form macroscopically visible colonies. The intravenous injection does not allow a direct measurement of this fraction. However, its value is established by injecting stem cells directly into the spleen, thus minimizing the dilution of stem cells through the circulation. It has been measured with this procedure, that only 4% of intravenously injecte… Show more

“…1974) are therefore two to three times the seeding level observed at 24 hr (e.g. 6-12%; Playfair & Cole, 1965;Matioli, Vogel & Niewisch, 1968;Kretchmar & Conover, 1969a;Lahiri & van Putten, 1969;Testa et af., 1972;Beran & Tribukait, 1974;Coggle & Gordon, 1975;Hasthorpe & Hodgson, 1977). These latter estimates may therefore more accurately reflect the 'true' stem cell seeding efficiency.…”

“…In three experiments with the highest enrichment, an average of 10 + 1 day-12 spleen colonies was observed per 100 injected sorted cells. This gives a minimum value for the seeding efficiency (f factor) of sorted CFU-S in spleen of 0.1, or twice the value measured in classic retransplantation experiments (7,28,34). The latter method, in fact, measures the f factor for the second transplantation.…”

“…Estimates of daily stem cell flow into a humerus, derived from the data of several authors, are entered in Table 3, the following values being assumed: total nucleated cells in bone marrow = 20 x lo7, and in one humerus = 1 x lo7; average CFU/blood volume = 30 (Micklem, 1966); seeding efficiency of bone marrow and blood stem cells in the spleen (f) = 0.17 (Siminovitch, McCulloch & Till, 1963;Kondratenko & Chertkov, 1972). Lower values forf, proposed by several authors (Matioli, Vogel & Niewisch, 1968;Kretchmar & Conover, 1969;Lahiri, Keizer & van Putten, 1970), result in proportionately higher estimates of stem cell flow. It is also assumed for the purpose of the calculations that the bone marrow is the sole source and destination of circulating stem cells and hence that output of stem cells from the bone marrow is exactly balanced by input from the blood; these last assumptions ignore other tissues, especially the spleen, and are certainly not wholly correct (cf.…”
