| Abstract | The yolk sac is the first site of hematopoiesis in the mammalian embryo. However, little is known about the initial stem cells in the yolk sac. We have isolated hematopoietic stem cells from early mouse embryonic yolk sac by using a sequential protocol of nonadherence to plastic, density gradient centrifugation, immunocytoadherence, and cell sorting. Isolated, nonadherent, density < 1.077-g/cm3, surface antigen AA4.1+, wheat germ agglutinin bright (WGAbright) cells give rise to multiple lineages, including T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells, as detected by using fetal thymus organ culture, S17 stromal feeder layers, or methylcellulose culture colony-forming cells, respectively. AA4.1+, WGAbright cells expressed high levels of heat-stable antigen (HSA) and CD45 (Ly-5) but did not significantly express major histocompatibility complex antigens, CD44, or Sca-1. Peak stem cell concentration is reached by day 11, before stem cells can be found in the liver, omentum, or thymus. In vivo long-term reconstitution of lethally irradiated mice was effected by as few as 720 AA4.1+, WGAbright yolk sac cells, but it required addition of a subset of bone marrow cells capable of providing immediate (short-term) radiation protection. Yolk sac donor-derived T cells, B cells, and macrophages were readily identified 6 months after transfer of yolk sac-derived stem cells. We suggest that, because of their cell surface phenotype as well as their capacity to differentiate in vitro and in vivo, the cells isolated from the mouse embryonic yolk sac may include the most primitive hematopoietic pluripotential stem cells yet identified. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
