CC, the appropriate cocktail of cytokines, included rhIL-3 (10 ng/mL), rhGM-CSF (10 ng/mL), rhSCF (50 ng/mL), and rhEPO (3 U/mL). The rhHAPO was added at 100 ng/mL final concentration. Data are pooled from 3 separate experiments and expressed as mean ± SD. Bone marrow cells were plated a cell density of 1 × 105/35 mm dish in a methycellulose system as described in “Materials and methods.”

CFU indicates colony-forming unit; M, macrophage; G, granulocyte; BFU-E, eruthroblast burst-forming unit; Mix, mixed colony; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline.
