Abstract
The hemopoietic tissues of mice and men contain a cell population which gives rise to clones of granulocytes and monocytes in culture when exposed to a proper proliferation stimulus (3, 16). These cells, which occur in low numbers in the bone marrow, are designated as colony-forming units culture (CFU-c). The inducer of colony formation has been shown to be present in many tissue extracts, and is designated as colony-stimulating factor or CSF.
