More than 90% of all cells in each fraction from the entire culture were injected into 6 irradiated NOD/SCID mice in each experiment.

% of human CD45/CD71+ cells in the bone marrow of those mice found to be positive 6 weeks after transplant (L+= at least 5 of 20 000 cells were human CD34CD19/20+, M+ = at least 5 of 20 000 cells were human CD45/71+CD15/66b+cells).
