Percentages of CD34+ cells (a), CD34+CD19- (b) and CD34+CD19+ (c) fractions, and CD34 + CD19-/CD34 + CD19- ratios (d) for all groups. Box plots indicate the median and 25th and 75th percentiles. Whiskers indicate minimum and maximum values. •,* = outliers. * indicate values that are more distant than 1.5 interquartile ranges considering the nearest edge of the represented box; • indicate values that are more distant than 3 interquartile ranges considering the nearest edge of the represented box, as reported in Ref. [31]. The Kruskal-Wallis statistic test with pairwise comparisons was used for this analysis; p values of pairwise comparisons are indicated
