(a) Flt3-ligand in the plasma of animals contaminated through uranium ingestion. A significant difference was observed between 2 and 10 mg/L contaminated animals and control animals ( , ). (b) Progenitor frequency in the bone marrow of control and contaminated animals. Results did not show any significant difference between control and contaminated animals ( animals per group) both for burst forming units erythroid (BFU-E) and colony-forming units-granulocyte macrophages (CFU-GM).
