See Table 1 footnote for abbreviations.

CD34+ cells purified from the peripheral blood of either patients with MMM or healthy subjects were cultured in serum-free medium containing cytokines in the presence and absence of IL-8 antisense or antihuman IL-8 antibody. After 14 days of culture, supernatants were harvested, and the IL-8 level was measured by ELISA. The threshold sensitivity for the IL-8 ELISA was ≥ 8 pg/mL.

*

Matched random controls for IL-8 antisense; isotypic controls for anti—IL-8 antibody.
