Figure 3

Analyses of cell CFU-F colonies of the first passage from cultured bone marrow and bone fragments. (a) Representative images of cell colonies at densities of 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, and 800 cells/well. (b) Colony counting analyses at densities of 5,000 and 800 cells/well. (c) Colony consisted of most of spindle cells. (d) Colony consisted of flattened cells. (e) Counting analyses for colonies which consisted of most of spindle cells at a density of 5,000 cells/well.
