CD34+CD38+ and CD34+CD38 cells were purified as described in “Materials and methods” and subsequently transferred to slides by cytospin centrifugation before being analyzed by FISH. Normal BM CD34+, CD34+CD38+, and CD34+CD38 cells from 2 individuals were sorted and analyzed by FISH in an identical manner, and the mean percentage of 1O + 2G cells was 3.2%.

nd indicates not determined.
