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

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.
