UCB CD34+ cells were cultured in AFT024-noncontact culture or stroma-free culture as described in “Materials and methods.” After 1 and 2 weeks, cell were harvested and transplanted in limiting dilutions in sublethally irradiated NOD-SCID mice as described in “Materials and methods.” After 6 weeks, animals were killed and evaluated for human engraftment.

See Tables 1 and 2 for abbreviations.

F3-150

Number of animals engrafted/number of animals that were transplanted.

F3-151

Mean ± SEM percent human CD45+ cells in mouse marrow.

F3-152

AFT024-noncontact culture with 10 ng/mL FL, 10 ng/mL SCF, and 10 ng/mL IL-7 or 10 ng/mL FL and 10 ng/mL TPO.

F3-153

Stroma-free culture contained G-CSF, MIP 1-α, IL-6, MCP-1, VEGF, IL-8, N-desulfated, O-sulfated heparin, Tpo, FL, SCF, and IL-7 engraftment.

F3-155

Determination of SCID repopulating cell (SRC) frequency (see “Materials and methods”).

F3-154

Cells were further analyzed by flow cytometry to demonstrate multilineage differentiation.

#Engraftment data and SRC frequency are derived from 2 independent experiments with 2 to 4 mice being analyzed at each dose and time point. Multilineage potential is the mean ± SEM of 2 to 4 mice.
