−/− mice at 6 weeks post Ad‐Cre inhalation immunostained with antibodies against (A) CD3, (C) B220 and (E) F4/80. Scale bars: 100 μm. (B, D, F) Quantification of positive cells/high‐power field (HPF) in lesion‐bearing mouse lungs immunostained with antibodies against (B) CD3, (D) B220 and (F) F4/80 (n = 6/genotype). *p < 0.05, Student's t‐test. (G) Representative images of H&E‐stained lung sections from Kras
G12D (G12D) or Kras

−/− donor bone marrow (indicated in superscript font). Insets depict magnified areas comprising lesions in the low‐power images (open squares). Scale bars: 3 mm. (H, I) Quantification of (H) lung parenchyma area containing tumor lesions, and (I) tumor incidence, per whole mouse lung in chimeras (n = 5/group). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; One‐way ANOVA.
