Three hundred transduced CD34+/GFP+ cells were plated in triplicate 24-well plates with 1% methylcellulose containing SCF, IL-3, IL-6, erythropoietin, GM-CSF, and G-CSF for total CFCs. Colonies were counted from each of the plates, and averages were determined for each individual. CFU-Meg colonies were determined separately using collagen-based slide chambers in the presence of TPO, IL-3, and IL-6, at a density of 2500 cells per chamber. All colony numbers were quantified using an inverted-phase light microscope.P values were calculated using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test.
