Overexpression of soluble SCF increases the frequency of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow. HPP-CFC and LPP-CFC assays were performed on bone marrow cells derived from various transgenic and nontransgenic white mice. Shown are total myeloid progenitors (ie, sum of all HPP and LPPs) from Sl/Sld (n = 22),Sl/Sld-S (n = 13),Sl/Sld-MR (n= 14), and wt (n = 20). HPP and LPP content were determined by multiplying the concentration of HPP-CFC or LPP-CFC by the total bone marrow cellularity. (*) P= .005, Sl/Sld-S versusSl/Sldand Sl/Sld-MR. The results show mean (×103) ± SEM (bars).
