Duration (weeks/days) of cultures for human (h) mast cell generation from progenitors isolated from primary tissue sources such as peripheral blood (hPB), cord blood (hCB), and bone marrow (hBM); from wild-type and Gata2Venus (G2V) reporter mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC); and human ESCs (hESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). References for each of the studies are indicated.
