Frequencies of myeloid, B-, and T-cell lineages. Precursor frequencies within the CD34+CD1a– thymocyte population were determined by limiting dilution assays and calculated using the method of maximum likelihood.43 (Left) CD19+ B cells on OP9-GFP; frequency 1 in 644 (720 and 270 in subsequent experiments). (Middle) CD13/33+ myeloid cells on OP9-GFP; frequency 1 in 193 (126 in a second experiment) in the absence of GM-CSF (□) and 1 in 48 in the presence of GM-CSF (▦). (Right) CD8+ T cells on OP9-DL1; frequency 1 in 29.
