Demonstration that ALDH+CD34- cells are committed toward erythropoiesis. Panel A: sorted ALDH+CD34+ cell fraction, induced to differentiate for 4 days in the presence of erythropoietin, GM-CSF and IL3. Panel B: sorted ALDH+CD34- cell fraction, induced to differentiate in the same conditions. These results represent a typical experiment of the 3 performed.
