We have established rapid procedures that negatively deplete and positively select for specific murine cell populations. By using polystyrene tissue culture flasks containing a covalently bound mouse anti-rat antibody and specific anti-mouse, cell-surface antigen antibodies, we easily and efficiently depleted greater than 90% of the mature lineage cells from murine bone marrow. This selection procedure resulted in an enrichment of progenitor colonies (CFU-Cs) in murine bone marrow. Using the same polystyrene tissue culture devices, we can directly isolate CD117 + (c-kit + ) murine hematopoietic cells. As few as 2000 of these CD117 + cells rescued and reconstituted lethally irradiated recipients in a murine bone marrow transplant model.
