Human RBC precursors are obtained by (i) separating glycophorin A(+) (gly A(+)) cells using a magnetic cell sorting (MACS) technique and by (ii) ex vivo expansion of precursors BFU-E (burst forming unit-erythroid) on methylcellulose semi-solid culture media from mononuclear cells of cord blood.
Healthy Blood-Cell Formation. In a healthy person, the stem cells in the bone marrow make daughter cells. The daughter cells go through several stages of development within the marrow. Eventually they mature into red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), or platelets.These get released from the marrow to circulate in the bloodstream. The circulating cells perform important functions. 1  RBCs carry oxygen throughout the body. 2  WBCs fight infection.ventually they mature into red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), or platelets.
