Suppression of frequency of chronic myelogenous leukemia progenitors compared with reduction in proliferation and viability

AssayPrimitive progenitors (% decrease)Committed progenitors (% decrease)
Progenitor frequency 43 ± 12 52 ± 5 
Proliferation inhibition 61 ± 2 34 ± 5  
Viability decrease 5 ± 3 5 ± 3

Progenitor frequency 43 ± 12 52 ± 5 
Proliferation inhibition 61 ± 2 34 ± 5  
Viability decrease 5 ± 3 5 ± 3 

Values are the mean ± SEM percentage decrease in the different variables for progenitor cells exposed to 1 μM imatinib mesylate for 96 hours compared with cells with a similar incubation but without imatinib mesylate.
