Ten thousand CD34+lin− bone marrow cells sorted into Flt3high and Flt3low subpopulations were cultured in the presence of the designated cytokines. On day 3, 6, and 9 of culture, cells were analyzed for the expression of leukocyte differentiation antigens by flow cytometry.
Abbreviations: ND, not determined; GF, growth factors.
Values are not determinable because of low cell number (see Fig 8).
Growth factors: KL, IL-6, IL-3, GM-CSF, and Epo.
The presence of other leukocyte differentiation antigens could not be examined because of low cell number.
