[HTML][HTML] A role for the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic pathway in regulating myeloid progenitor cell kinetics

FQB Alenzi, SB Marley, JL Lewis… - Experimental …, 2002 - Elsevier
OBJECTIVE: Bone marrow from wild-type mice and mice with mutated Fas (lpr) or mutated
Fas ligand (gld) was used to investigate the role of the Fas/FasL system in the regulation of
myeloid progenitor cell kinetics. METHODS: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells
(CFU-GM) were measured by a standard colony assay and the proliferative activity of CFU-
GM was measured by replating primary colonies and observing secondary colony formation.
Fas expression was restored to lpr mouse bone marrow cells by retrovirus-mediated gene …
