Hematopoietic colony distribution treated in cells with different concentrations of inhibitors. BFU-E (burst forming unit-erythroid) are progenitor cells with great proliferative capacity that give rise to large, multi-clustered erythroid colonies, CFU-E (colony-forming unit-erythroid) progenitors give rise to the smallest and most rapidly maturing erythroid colonies, CFU-GM (colony-forming unit-granulocyte, macrophage) are defined on the basis of their ability to produce colonies containing a minimum of either 20 or 50 cells, CFU-Mix (colony-forming unit-mixture) consists of CFU-E and CFU-GM combined colonies, and CFU-GEMM (colony-forming unit-granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte) are progenitor cells that give rise to colonies containing multiple lineages including erythroid cells.
