title: Indirect visualization of hematopoietic colony-forming stem cell (CFUs) as a possible target cell for Mycoplasma arthritidis.
abstract: Utilizing specific rabbit antiserum against M. arthritidis together with complement, a portion of the marrow 7-day CFUs population of CBA mice infected with live mycoplasma organisms 1 day previously was shown to be inactivated. These cells might therefore be considered as candidate target cells for M. arthritidis. 11-day CFUs were unaffected by similar treatment.
