WBC indicates white blood cell; hct, hematocrit; and PB, peripheral blood.
Amplification factor was calculated by comparing the initial (at 3 hours) value of CFU-Cs per femur (based on homing of 0.5% of injected CFU-Cs) and the CFU-C/femur measured at 8 or 14 days later.
Two independent experiments are shown and none of the donor animals were pretreated with antibiotics. Each group had 5 mice.
Recipients of 5 × 105 BM cells were sacrificed at 14 days, whereas recipients of 1 × 105BM cells (from the same BM pool) were bled at 43 days after transplant to assess engraftment.
P = .0674.
