Increase in the number of clonogenic CFU‐GM (A), BFU‐E (B), CFU‐Meg (C), and CFU‐Mix (D) progenitors in vitro after co‐stimulation of human UCB CD34+ progenitors with SexHs. SexHs co‐stimulate in vitro proliferation of human UCB CD34+ cells in methylcellulose‐based cultures containing suboptimal doses (1/10 of optimal doses) of growth factors/cytokines and the indicated doses of pituitary and gonadal SexHs. The number of colonies formed in the absence of SexHs was considered to be 100%. Data are combined from four independent experiments and means ± S.D. are shown. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 are considered significant compared with the control group. Abbreviations: BFU‐E: erythrocyte burst‐forming units; CFU‐GM: granulocyte/macrophage colony‐forming units; CFU‐Meg: megakaryocytic colony‐forming units.
