Abbreviations: SEM, standard error of mean; ANC, absolute neutrophil count.
Gene transfer efficiency estimated by PCR analysis of 12 pools of 15 colonies per pool for animals J94090, M94264, and F93449. For F93449, all 12 pools were PCR+. For M94142, pools with two and five colonies per pool were analyzed. Weighted mean and SEM were calculated. All colonies were grown from harvested nonadherent cells.
The number of nonadherent cells recovered from the cultures.
Day to reach a sustained neutrophil count >500/μL.
ρ Cells were marked with LN (PG13) and LNX (PA317; animal was given G-CSF (100 μg/kg/d) × 23 days and MGDF (10 μg/kg/d) × 28 days after transplant.
