A total of 4 × 104 HB-1 cells were cultured in the presence of each cytokine or on MS-10 cells, and cell numbers were counted at day 6. Ratio represents cell number of each sample to number of HB-1 cells on MS-10 cells on day 6.

Fifteen percent of STIL-3 CM was used. The STIL-3 C5 CM contained about 800 U/mL of IL-3 activity as determined by mast cell-colony formation assay.15 All results represent mean ± SE.
