Early but not late granulopoiesis is induced by EBV infection in the bone marrow. (A) May-Grunwald Giemsa stain of hCD66b⁺ cells which were isolated from mice BM. Blast (*) and matured cells were observed (x600). White arrows show band neutrophils. (B) Ratio of band/segmented neutrophils in isolated hCD66b⁺ cells of BM were compared between infected (n = 3) and uninfected (n = 3) mice. Significant difference were not detected (Not significant; N.S.). (C) Frequency of hCD66b⁺ myeloid progenitors in BM were compared with infected and uninfected mice. EBV infected mice BM showed significantly increased progenitors. Data mean ± SD. ***p < 0.005.
