Electron microscopical identification of the committed precursor cell of the megakaryocyte compartment of rat bone marrow.
In the rat bone marrow, cells of the megakaryocyte line of differentiation are the only hemopoietic cells which show cytochemically demonstrable Acetylcholineesterase activity (AchE; EC 3.1.1.7). A small number of morphologically unrecognizable cells exhibit AchE activity in their Golgi complexes. These cells are identified as committed precursor cells of the MK compartment.
