Chimerism was measured after 12 weeks in order to determine the re-population capacity of these cells as an index of their stem cell capacity (Figure 3A).
Marrow sample from iliac crest was also obtained for local evaluation of adipogenic potential index of mesenchymal stem cell (Adipocyte Positvie Colonies) [16].
Formation of endogenous spleen colonies is an index of hematopoietic stem cell proliferation.
Growth Efficiency (ratio of Leaf Area Index to Stem Growth).
To enhance the therapeutic index of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), we immunized ten HLA-matched sibling donors prior to stem cell collection with recipient-derived clonal myeloma immunoglobulin, idiotype (Id), as a tumor antigen, conjugated with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
To better characterize such heterogeneity, we took the tree ratio as an index of the predominance of stem or tree compartments in the growth of the axon.
The features used are a standard 6-feature set, including the Z-score of the MFE, structure conservation index, mean entropy of stems, mean mutual information of stems, mean pairwise identity and number of sequences [ 17, 19], and neutrality, which is calculated using the measures described above.
Estimation of the 300 Index, which is a measure of stem volume productivity, is more complex because, unlike height, stem volume is strongly influenced by stocking and, to a lesser extent, thinning and pruning history.
As a whole, greater decline in tolerance index of roots followed by stem and leaves was noticed.
