Comparison of BMP-2 production between BMSCs by ASCs when grouped by multiplicity of infection and cell passage. At MOI 3/3 (p5), 2 BMSC samples and 30 ASC samples were available. At MOI 3/3 (p3), 8 BMSC and 4 ASC samples were available. At MOI 5/25 (p5), 3 BMSC and 25 ASC samples were available. Mann–Whitney U test was used to determine statistical significance.  = statistically significant difference ().
