title: Electron microscopical identification of the committed precursor cell of the megakaryocyte compartment of rat bone marrow.
abstract: 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.
