Abstract

The study of human erythropoiesis in health and disease requires a robust culture system that consistently and reliably generates large numbers of immature erythroblasts that can be induced to differentiate synchronously. We describe a culture method modified from Leberbauer et al. (2005) and obtain a homogenous population of erythroblasts from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) without prior purification of CD34+ cells. This pure population of immature erythroblasts can be expanded to obtain 4x108 erythroblasts from 1x108 PBMC after 13-14 days in culture. Upon synchronized differentiation, high levels of enucleation (80-90%) and low levels of cell death (
