CD34+ cells were mobilized from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood and selected on the basis of their CD34 antigen expression. The mean number of monocytes contaminating the CD34+ cell preparations was 2.1% ± 1.0%. TF-1 and CD34+ cells were incubated for 18 hours without growth factors before testing. Neutrophils and monocytes were tested on the day of purification. All cells were radiolabelled with3H-AA and stimulated with either 500 ng/mL TPA or DMSO diluent for 10 minutes, followed by 1 μmol/L A23187 or PBS control for 20 minutes, and AA release was measured as described in Materials and Methods. AA release was expressed as a percentage of the total cell radioactivity, which was 76,341 ± 14,590 cpm/106 HL-60 cells, 92,049 ± 5268 cpm/106 TF-1 cells, 171,863 ± 39,371 cpm/106 CD34 cells, 69,838 ± 12,788 cpm/106 neutrophils, and 61,505 ± 10,380 cpm/106 monocytes. Values are the percentage of cellular radioactivity. P values show the significance of difference from DMSO controls measured by Student’s paired t-test.
