DEF

The earliest red cell precursor presently detectable in in vitro culture, where it has a high requirement for erythropoietin; so named because its growth is composed of subcolonies which give the appearance of a burst.

  • Immunologie
CONT

L'injection d'érythropoiétine à un animal hypertransfusé et dont ni la moelle ni la rate ne contiennent de précurseurs érythropoiétiques identifiables entraîne une vague de proérythroblastes : l'érythropoiétine agit donc in vivo sur des cellules indifférenciées morphologiquement, appelées ERC (erythropoietin responsive cells). [...] Deux stades de précurseurs ont été définis, les «CFU-E, colony forming unit erythroid» et les «BFU-E, burst forming unit erythroid».
