Analysis of hematopoietic colony-forming units on methylcellulose after coculture of CB CD34+ cells with HD-BMSCs or CMML-BMSCs. (a) After a 3-day coculture of CB CD34+ cells with HD-BMSCs or CMML-BMSCs, the CFU-C assays were performed with 500 cells collected from the upper chamber. After 14 days of culture in H4435 methylcellulose, colonies of CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, and BFU-E derived from coculture with HD-BMSCs or CMML-BMSCs were enumerated. Data are presented as the (), and . (b) Representative flow dot plots show the percentage of myeloid (CD45+CD33+) or erythroid (CD71+CD235a+) cells after a 3-day coculture of CB CD34+ cells with HD-BMSCs or CMML-BMSCs followed by 14 days of culture on methylcellulose. Quantification of the percent myeloid and erythroid populations is shown. Data are presented as the (), .
