Megakaryocytic progenitor assay.
Bone marrow cells (1 × 105) were cultured with MegaCult-C media in the presence of 10 ng/mL IL-3, 20 ng/mL IL-6, and 50 ng/mL TPO according to the instruction manual. After 7-day culture, the colonies formed were stained with AChE. Results represent the mean (±SD) number of CFU-Meg colonies per femur in 2 independent experiments.
