Purified CD34+ HPCs were either assayed immediately for NK cell precursor frequency by LDA or further cultured in FL (100 ng/mL) for 10 days, sorted by FACS into CD34brightCD122+ or CD34dim/negCD122− subsets (>98% pure), and then plated for LDA. In each LDA, cell populations were cultured in IL-15 (100 ng/mL) for an additional 14 days, stained with anti-CD56-PE MoAb, and analyzed for CD56 expression and NK cell precursor frequency, as described in Materials and Methods.
