The effects of hematopoietic growth factors on hypodiploid DNA content and survivin protein expression in umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells
Umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells were cultured in the absence or presence of 100 ng/mL each of Tpo, FL, and SCF for 48 hours. Data are from 1 of 2 identical experiments.
Tpo indicates thrombopoietin; FL, Flt3 ligand; SCF, stem cell factor.
Hypodiploid DNA content was determined by flow cytometry on cells stained with 0.5 μg/mL propidium iodide at 48 hours.
Survivin expression was determined by intracellular staining with 5 μg/mL polyclonal antisurvivin and flow cytometry at 48 hours. Data are presented as mean channel fluorescence.
