Figure 5.

Long-term growth capacity of primary human neonatal foreskin basal epidermal cells fractionated on the basis of α₆ and 10G7 Ag expression. Growth curves of UF, α₆^bri10G7^dim, and α₆^bri10G7^bri fractions in a representative experiment (experiment II). The curves show that the α₆^bri10G7^dim cells consistently grew at a greater rate than the UF and α₆^bri10G7^bri cells. (Inset) Cell output at earlier time points (day 0–50) is shown and indicates that all fractions were capable of growth in culture, which is not evident on the main graph due to the scale. Data points represent mean ± SEM of three replicate wells.
