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). RU/hind limb was calculated from 4 to 20 recipients (no. given in parentheses) that had received marrow pooled from 3 to 5 treated mice; 1 to 3 separate competitive repopulation assays were performed (see Materials and Methods for details).

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

F4-150

P values are for comparison with drug alone.

F4-151

P values for CAFC-35 are shown as <.05 (.01 < P < .05), <.01 (.001 < P < .01) or as P < .001.
