Six-day EBs were dissociated and replated for progenitor assay in the presence of a combination of 6GF or PEG-rhuMGDF or 6GF + PEG-rhuMGDF. Data represent the mean of numbers of CFU-GM generated by 105 EBs6 cells (duplicate dishes in 3 independent experiments).

*

P < .01: comparison of the numbers of colonies developed with 6GF + PEG-rhuMGDF and the sum of the numbers of colonies developed with a combination of 6GF and PEG-rhuMGDF separately.
