Each 1-mL LTC-IC assay was initiated with 103 Sca-1+lin-GFP+ cells. The LTCs were harvested after 4 weeks, and the cells in them were then assayed for CFCs in FCS-containing methylcellulose medium in the presence or absence of growth factors. Data shown are the total CFCs recovered per initial LTC and represent mean ± SEM of values obtained from 3 independent experiments.
