Low O2 concentrations enhance the positive effect of IL-17 on the maintenance of erythroid progenitors during co-culture of CD34+ and mesenchymal stem cells
1 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Co-culture of haematopoietic cells with a stromal cell layer does not mimic the physiological, micro-environmental niche, whose major feature is a low oxygen (O2) concentration. Thus, in order to study the effects of IL-17 in a context which better approximates the physiological state, we investigated its effects on cell expansion, colony-forming ability, and the phenotypical profile of normal, human blood CD34+...
