Unirradiated (unir) and in vitro–irradiated baboon-mobilized PB CD34+ cells were incubated for 7 days in serum-free medium in the presence of 4F, and cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry after 1 or 3 days of culture. Results from 4 different baboons are expressed as mean ± SEM. All intergroup comparisons, made using the Mann-Whitney U test, are significant (P < .05) except the following: day 0 versus day 1, 2.5 Gy; day 3 unir versus day 3, 2.5 Gy regarding both G0 and S/G2/M; day 3 unir versus day 3, 2.5 Gy regarding G1.
