Human CD34+ HSPCs were cultured as previously described20 (link),21 (link). CD34+ HSPCs were purchased from AllCells and had been isolated from G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood from healthy donors. CD34+ HSPCs were cultured at 2.5 × 105–5 × 105 cells/mL in StemSpan™-AOF (Stemcell) supplemented with stem cell factor (SCF) (100 ng/mL), thrombopoietin (TPO) (100 ng/mL), FLT3–ligand (100 ng/mL), IL-6 (100 ng/mL) (all Peprotech) and UM171 (35 nM) (Selleckchem). Cells were cultured at 37 °C, 5% CO2, and 5% O2.
