Mean values ± SD of MFI (n = 10). The results were expressed as mean of geometric MFI values of the hBM-MSC (CD73+CD45) or B-ALL cell (CD19+CD45+) population expressing Notch ligands and receptors.

B-ALL indicates B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia; hBM-MSC, human bone marrow–mesenchymal stromal cell; DLL, Delta-like ligand; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; and NS, nonsignificant.
