Maximum feasible mouse dose (cells/kg) ~10-fold the minimum recommended human dose; NOAEL not determined
“Although a no observed effect level (NOAEL) could not be determined, a dose level of 1x106 CD34+ cells/animal or 5x107 CD34+ cells/kg provides an approximately 10-fold safety margin to the recommended minimum dose level to be administered in humans (5x106 CD34+ cells/kg).”

NOAEL / key findings
True NOAEL not determined; ~5x10^7 CD34+ cells/kg (max feasible, 10x minimum clinical dose); early deaths in both test and control groups
“Although a true no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) could not be determined, the dose level administered in this study, approximately 5x107 CD34+ cells/kg, represents the maximum feasible dose”
