The numbers of myeloid precursors (CFU-GM) and erythroid precursors (BFU-E) present in the BM of BM-SCID-hu mice (n = 4 mice) and Liv-SCID-hu mice (n = 7 mice) and fetal BM (n = 4 fetuses) and fetal liver (n = 5 fetuses) were assessed as described in Materials and Methods. The mean number of human precursor cells/5 × 104 human cells in duplicate clonogenic assays is shown.
