Abstract
The production of erythrocytic colonies from murine fetal liver cells seeded in semisolid plasma culture medium was first accomplished in 1971.1 The plasma culture system was then improved2 and is now widely used along with the methylcellulose system3 for the assay of the erythropoietic progenitors, CFU-e and BFU-e, of adult as well as fetal hemopoietic tissues of several species including man.
