FIG. 2.

(A) Platelet concentration in the peripheral blood (PB) of each of the mice 8 days after transplantation. Bars represent the mean platelet concentration of each group. On an average, both groups that were transplanted with TPO-expanded cells had significantly higher concentrations of platelets in the PB (*P<0.02). (B) Platelet concentration of each of the mice 40 days after transplantation. Bars represent the mean platelet concentration of each group. On an average, all groups had higher concentrations of platelets in the PB than the control group, but this difference was only significant for the group that was transplanted with CD34⁺ cells and MSC (*P<0.05). (C) Kinetics of platelet recovery in the mice throughout the experiment. Shown are the mean±SEM values of the four different transplants.
