CS inhibits HSPC homing into the bone marrow.
Lethally irradiated mice were reconstituted with bone marrow cells and exposed to CS in a hermetically closed chamber (5 hours daily for 14 days). The control group was kept in a similar chamber without CS. Thereafter, the mice were killed and numbers of CFUs-12 in the bone marrow were evaluated. Data presented are from one representative experiment and are expressed as the number of CFU per 4 × 105 injected cells (mean ± SD).
