Assessment of the colony-forming cell content in different cord blood CD18 expressing populations. a Analysis of the content of total CFCs per 10⁵ seeded cells and b distribution of the different types of CFCs in CD34⁺ cells sorted on the basis of CD18 expression. CFU-GM, BFU-E, and CFU-GEMM are shown. The significance of differences between total and CD18^high or CD18^low/neg sorted populations is shown as P < 0.01(**) or P < 0.05(*). The significance of differences between CD18^high and CD18^low/neg populations is shown as P < 0.001 (^###) or P < 0.01 (^##)
