Mixed lymphoid/myeloid wells indicate that both CD19+B cells and CD33+ myeloid cells were detected in the same well. Numbers in parentheses indicate the total number of mixed lymphoid/myeloid wells divided by the total number of wells analyzed in the experiments. Data for the percentages of CD19+ and CD33+ cells in the mixed lymphoid/myeloid wells are presented as the mean ± SD of the total number of mixed lymphoid/myeloid wells in each culture condition.
