[colony-forming unit in culture] A term that refers to cells obtained in an in vitro culture system (see: Colony formation assay) allowing clonal growth of early hematopoietic stem cells (see also: BMC, bone marrow culture).
CFU-C are precursors of granulocytes and do not represent the earliest type of hematopoietic stem cells detectable.
This term was coined at a time when this cell type was the only one that could be grown in culture. They are the same cell types described by other authors as CFU-GM.
For a culture system employing engineered stromal cells capable of supporting cells in culture see also:
