Description
Description: TF-1 have been derived from a patient with erythroleukaemia. They show complete growth dependency on GM-CSF or IL-3, and carry a homogeneous chromosomal abnormality (54,X). Constitutive expression of globin genes indicate commitment of TF-1 to the erythroid lineage, although glycophorin A or carbonyl anhydrase I are not expressed. On incubation with hemin or delta-aminolevulinic acid haemoglobin synthesis was induced, whereas TPA induced differentiation into macrophage-like cells. Erythroprotein also sustains short-term growth, but does not induce differentiation.
