We investigated the effect of the human ligand for flt-3 (FL) on the committed progenitor colony formation of normal bone marrow (BM) (n = 9) and BM from four aplastic anaemia (AA) and three Diamond-Blackfan anaemia (DBA) patients. Methylcellulose committed progenitor cell assays were carried out using FL alone and in combinations with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and c-kit ligand (KL). FL alone had a limited, though significant, effect on the production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming unit (CFU-GM) colonies from normal BM and showed an additive effect with IL-3 and GM-CSF separately, but not in combination. FL did not increase the stimulation of KL and did not have an effect on the production of erythroid progenitor colonies. FL had no effect on the AA and DBA BMs studied.
