Haematopoietic stem cells (CFUc) in human cord blood.
Colony forming units (CFUc) giving rise to myelocytic colonies in methylcellulose cultures were found among non-adherent mononuclear cells of human cord blood with a frequency of one in 1678. The number decreased makredly during the first 8 to 10 days of life. They were rarely detected in adult blood by this technique.
