Values shown are the results obtained from individual mice calculated in each case, assuming two femurs and two tibias contain 25% of the total marrow population. Each of the three experiments was initiated with lin− CB cells and the output values shown have been adjusted to correspond to the yield of progeny expected from 105 input CD34+ CB cells originally placed in culture.
Abbreviation: SFM, serum-free medium.
