HLA-DR+ cells and HLA-DRdim cells from mobilized peripheral blood were cultured in [IL-3 + IL-6 + KL] ± FL. Cultures were analyzed for total cells (days 6 through 9) and CFU-GM (day 14).
Not significantly different from HLA-DRdim lacking FL (P = .11).
Significantly different from HLA-DR+ lacking FL (P = .035).
Significantly different from HLA-DRdim with FL (P = .042).
ρ Not significantly different from HLA-DR+ lacking FL (P = .14). Insufficient cells were available to assess HLA-DRdim cultures for CFU-GM.
