Figure Lengend Snippet: Bone marrow colony-forming assays. Bone marrow cells (2 × 104) were cultured in methylcellulose media for 14 days. Each sample was plated in triplicate for wild-type (n = 8), 4E-BP1−/− (n = 8) and 4E-BP2−/− (n = 3) mice. (a) Colonies were counted. The total number of colonies per 20 000 cells (one plate) is shown. (b) Classification into CFU-granulocyte, -monocyte, and -granulocyte/monocyte (CFU-G, CFU-M and CFU-GM, respectively) according to standard morphological criteria. Results are expressed as percent total colony count.
Article Snippet: Bone marrow cells (2 × 10 4 ) and spleen cells (1 × 10 5 ) were cultured at 37°, 5% CO 2 in a methylcellulose-based medium (MethoCult GF M 3534; Stem Cell Technology, Vancouver, BC, Canada) designed to support the formation of colonies derived from the myeloid lineage.
