Cord blood cells clone-sorted by FACS-Vantage (Becton Dickinson) equipped with an ACDU were cultured in the presence of SF and IL-6 for 8 weeks and were stained with antitryptase MoAb. Other than the pure mast cell colonies shown here, 10 of 200 mixed colonies were found to have both tryptase-positive mast cells, tryptase-negative large cells (macrophages), and undifferentiated cells.
