The clonal growth of myeloid colonies from peripheral blood was maximal when cultures were established with an initial osmolality of 220 mosmol/kg which increased during incubation as a result of partial drying. When osmolality was stabilized by secondary humidification, the optimum osmolality was 270 mosmol/kg, but growth was always two- to fivefold less than similar cultures established at low osmolality and incubated on an open shelf. Cultures established at 270 mosmol/kg or above were statistically similar whether or not drying was eliminated. Maximum colonies were apparent after 14 days incubation under both conditions; addition of conditioned medium did not alter the pattern of growth. The greater sensitivity of cultures established at 220 mosmol/kg is advantageous when assaying circulating progenitors in pathological conditions where a low number of granulocyte/macrophage colony-forming units is common.
