Table 2: Proportions of BM-MNCs adhered to CMs in different cocultivation setups. Setup1 and Setup 2: statistical results computed from 6 × 160 wide fields (6independent neonatal animal experiments); Setups 3 and 4 computed from 6×160 wide fields (6 independent adult animal experiments). One wide field contained minimally 40 CMs and BM-MNCs.
