Abstract:
We have identified a novel growth factor, stem cell factor (SCF), for primitive hematopoietic progenitors based on its activity on bone marrow cells derived from mice treated with 5-fluorouracil. The protein was isolated from the medium conditioned by Buffalo rat liver cells. It is heavily glycosylated, with both N-linked and O-linked carbohydrate. Amino acid sequence following removal of N-terminal pyroglutamate is presented. The protein has potent synergistic activities in semisolid bone marrow cultures in conjunction with colony-stimulating factors. It is also a growth factor for mast cells. In two companion papers, we present the sequences of partial SCF cDNAs, identify SCF as a c-kit ligand, and map the SCF gene to the Sl locus of the mouse.
