The reproducibility of two methods of studying granulopoiesis: agar culture and labelling index.
The overall reproducibility of two methods of studying granulopoiesis has been investigated, i.e. study of the granulocytic progenitor cells by the agar-culture technique and study of the myeloblast labelling index by autoradiography. The results obtained indicate that these two methods are reproducible for each step involved, from the time of marrow sampling right through to the final interpretation of the results.
