TABLE 2.
The number of CFU from CB products*
| Fresh (n = 16) | 10% DMSO (n = 13) | 5% DMSO/pentastarch (n = 13) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viability | 98.2 ± 1.2 | 75.3 ± 10.7 | 83.3 ± 8.9 |
| CFU-GM | 68.6 ± 10.0 | 49.5 ± 4.0 | 49.9 ± 5.8 |
| BFU-E | 61.1 ± 9.4 | 59.3 ± 6.4 | 66.5 ± 7.1 |
| CFU-GEMM | 0.4 ± 0.1 | 0.72 ± 0.3 | 0.4 ± 0.2 |
| Total | 130.0 ± 17.6 | 88.9 ± 12.9 | 94.8 ± 14.8 |
Mean number of colonies ± standard errors of the mean are presented. A total of 1 × 105 MNCs per mL were plated in Methocult semisolid medium and the CFUs were enumerated after 14 days of culture. Comparison of CFU-GM and CFU-E was not significant.
