title: [Clonogenic fibroblast precursors among the peritoneal fluid cells of guinea pigs].
abstract: There are about 2000 (1830 +/- 360) clonogenic precursors of fibroblast (CFU(f)) in the peritoneal liquid of guinea-pig, which form colonies (clones) in the monolayer cultures. The colonies consist of actively proliferating fibroblasts with different morphology. The proportion of colonies with different morphology shows changes during the growth of cultures. During aseptic inflammation the number of CFU(f) in the peritoneal liquid increases by 25, 15 and 4 times after 6 and 24 hours and 3 days, resp., compared to the control. 99% CFU(f) does not proliferate in situ, and the increase of the number of CFU(f) after inflammation is not followed by their proliferation. The irradiation of the peritoneal cavity killed the most of CFU(f)--97-99%. During the aseptic inflammation, the number of CFU(f) increased to 470 +/- 105 during 4 days after the irradiation, which is 5% of the number of CFU(f) on the 3rd day of inflammation for the non-irradiated animals. Thus, no intensive repopulation of clonogenic precursors of fibroblasts occurs in the peritoneal cavity.
