Mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (CFU-C) into the peripheral blood of man by endotoxin

M J Cline et al. Exp Hematol. 1977 May.

Abstract

Pseudomonas endotoxin was administered to three normal subjects in order to assess possible effects on stem cell circulation. Increased numbers of granulopoietic stem cells (CFU-C) transiently appeared in the peripheral blood, reaching a maximum after the time of maximal leukopenia. There was a mean 4-fold increase in CFU-C per ml of blood following endotoxin. A high proportion of these CFU-C did not require an added source of colony-stimulating activity for growth in agar.
