The number of samples are shown in parentheses. Receptor mRNA levels were normalized to the level of β2-m mRNA in the same sample. For quantification, the receptor mRNA levels were compared with the level of the receptor mRNA in unfractionated BM.

*

Mean ± SD of the mRNA levels relative to the level in HeLa cells.

P < .005 compared with Lin CD34+CD38 BM cells.

P < .005 compared with fresh LinCD34+ CD38 cord blood cells.
