FAB indicates French-American-British (classification); WBC, white blood cell; RA, refractory anemia; RARS, refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts; ND, not done; CMML, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; RAEB, refractory anemia with excess blasts; and RAEBT, refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation.
Values shown are the number of CFCs produced by 2 × 106 low-density BM or PB cells (as indicated) after 5 weeks in LTCs.
Separate aliquots transplanted on 2 or 3 different occasions.
Values shown are the numbers of CFCs measured directly (CFCs) and after 6 weeks in LTCs (LTC-ICs) per 2 × 103 lin− normal BM cells.
