fl-hKITL is superior to mKITL in sustaining EB expansion from both CB MNCs and CD34pos cells in cultures containing DXM (HEMA cultures). Growth curves of EBs in HEMA cultures of CB MNCs (top panel) and CD34pos cells (bottom panel) stimulated with either fl-hKITL (squares) or mKITL (circles). Growth curves observed in cultures stimulated with fl-hKITL (top panel) or mKITL (bottom panel) but without DXM are presented as controls. Results are expressed as FI and are presented as mean (±SD) of 3 separate experiments with 3 separate donors and are compared with average FI obtained in cultures stimulated with fl-hKITL, IL-3, and EPO but not DXM (columns on the right) as previously published [3,4]. FI that is statistically different (P<0.01) between DXM-stimulated cultures stimulated with fl-hKITL or mKITL is indicated by asterisks.
