Fig. 5.
In vitro B-cell mitogen responses of MNCs from G-CSF–mobilized (n = 75) or nonmobilized steady-state (n = 28) donor blood stem cell harvests.
MNCs were cultured in vitro in the presence of mitogens and incubated for 72 hours. The proliferative response of the cells was measured by means of a 3H-thymidine uptake assay. (A) Response to mitogen LPS (P < .005). (B) Response to mitogen PWM (P < .005). *indicates the statistical significance of the value as compared to nonmobilized blood.
