Quantification of the CFC and MRU content of fetal compared with adult mammary cells.
(A) Distribution of fetal MRUs and CFCs according to their expression of EpCAM. CFC values are the mean ± SEM for ≥4 experiments. MRU and 95% CI values were determined by LDA. The arrow indicates that MRUs, if present in the EpCAM− fraction, were below the limit of detection (indicated by the line; for details, see Table S4). (B) Comparison of CFC and MRU content of cells from >15 and 2 adult no. 4 glands, respectively, and >50 fetal glands. CFC values are geometric means. Error bars for MRU and CFC values show 95% CI.
