Quantitative analysis of gene-specific transcript levels in differently stimulated populations of primitive adult BM cells.

Values were calculated as described in the “Materials and methods” using adult BM CD34⁺CD38⁻ cells as the reference population ( = 1.0). Shown are the mean of analyses of at least 3 independent BM samples ± SEM. Values that are significantly different from 1.0 (P < .05) are indicated by an asterisk (*).
