Mononuclear blood cells were seeded in semisolid growth medium after double transfection of ODN (concentrations in first and second transfection: 1 μmol/L and 0.5 μmol/L, respectively) by DOTAP. The mean value of colony numbers (CFU-GM, BFU-E) after 2 weeks compared with untreated controls are indicated. Significant reduction of colony numbers is marked by bold letters.
Abbreviations: CP, chronic phase; AP, accelerated phase.
