CFU-S frequencies were determined from pooled marrow from 3 to 5 mice per experiment, the average frequency was calculated from 1 to 3 experiments; total number of CFU-S recipients is given in parentheses. CAFC frequencies were determined from pooled marrow from 3 to 5 mice per experiment, the average frequency was calculated from 1 to 3 experiments with 95% confidence intervals (given in parentheses).

Abbreviations: NA, not available; NS, not significant.

F3-150

P values are for comparison with drug alone.

F3-151

P values for CAFC-28 are shown as <.05 (.01 < P < .05), <.01 (.001 < P < .01) or as P < .001.
