(a) Myeloid progenitor profiles in mouse bone marrow. Live Lin–IL-7Rα–Thy1.1– cells were gated and analyzed for expression of the c-Kit and Sca-1 surface markers. The IL-7Rα–Thy1.1–Lin–Sca-1–c-Kit+ fraction was subdivided into FcγRloCD34+(CMP), FcγRloCD34– (MEP), and FcγRhiCD34+ (GMP) populations. (b) In vivo differentiation potential of myeloid progenitors. Splenocytes from lethally irradiated congenic recipient mice were analyzed 6 days after intravenous injection of 10,000 CMPs, MEPs, or GMPs. Top row shows Gr-1/Mac-1 profiles of donor-derived (Ly5.2) cells in recipient mice (Ly5.1). Bottom row shows Ly5.2/TER119 profiles from the Gr-1–Mac-1– fractions shown above. FSC, forward scatter.
