The specificities and sensitivities of the Bactec mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) system for the recovery ofMycobacterium tuberculosisfrom pleural fluid are not statistically different than those of the Myco/F lytic liquid culture system. The time to positivity is shorter in the MGIT system (12.7 versus 20.7 days, respectively;P= 0.007). The Myco/F lytic culture system may be an alternative to the MGIT system for diagnosing pleural tuberculosis.

A liquid culture system is described for murine megakaryocyte progenitor cells (CFU-M) in the presence of pokeweed-mitogen-stimulated spleen-cell conditioned medium. There were dose-related responses between the number of CFU-M developed and the number of cells cultured and the dosage of conditioned medium in this liquid culture system. Murine CFU-M were abundantly cloned in this system an the plating efficiency was similar in comparison with that in a plasma clot system. The acetylcholinesterase-positive colonies (more than 4 acetylcholinesterase-positive cells) were clearly seen on day 3 of culture, and they reached a maximum (60.5 +/- 10.7/2 x 10(5) cells) on day 7 of culture. Ultrastructural analyses of megakaryocytic maturation in this system showed that a few megakaryocytes produced platelets that were released in the culture medium on day 5 of culture. This liquid culture system is suitable for the study of the dynamic process of the megakaryocyte-platelet system.
