CD34+ cells that have divided during 6 days of culture in TPO, KL, and FL retain their capacity for in vivo marrow repopulation in the SCID-hu bone assay. Uncultured CD34+Thy-1+Lin− BM cells and CD34hi PKHlo and CD34lo/−PKHlo cells from D6 TPO, KL, and FL cultures were injected into SCID-hu bone grafts (10,000 cells per graft). FACS analysis at 8 weeks showed multilineage marrow repopulation by both the uncultured cells and the CD34hi cells postdivision in culture (PKHlo). The x-axis shows staining for donor HLA allotype. The y-axis shows staining for total human cells (W6/32, antihuman class I MHC) or lineage markers.
