*Immunomagnetic selection and antibodies as described in Materials and Methods, 10,000 events were counted and analyzed for each antibody.

F0-151

Subset of cells expressing the corresponding CD.

F0-152

Percentage of fluorescent cells when CD45+ cells = 100%.

F0-153

Negative fraction collected at the end of the last immunomagnetic selection.

F0-155

The CD45 cells were dead cells (<5%) and erythrocytes (23% of the events).

¶The CD45 cells were dead cells.
