The colony-forming cell (CFC) assay is used to study the proliferation and differentiation pattern of each input hematopoietic progenitors by their ability to form colonies in a semisolid medium. The resulting colonies are consisting of more differentiated cells, and the number and the morphology of the colonies provide preliminary information about the ability of progenitors to differentiate and proliferate. To allow colonies to grow to a size which facilitates accurate counting and identification, about 14 days of culture is sufficient. In certain situations also shorter periods may be used.
