Myeloid progenitor cells in CIN patients.

The left graph represents the mean number (± SEM) of CFU-Gs, total CFU-Ms, and total CFU-GMs obtained by 10⁷ BMMCs of CIN patients (; n = 31) and healthy controls (■; n = 34) using clonogenic assays. The right graph represents the mean colony values (± SEM) obtained by 5 × 10⁴ immunomagnetically sorted CD34⁺cells in 23 CIN patients () and 15 healthy controls (■). Comparison between patient and control values was performed by means of the Student t test.
