Bone marrow* fraction | Cells injected per recipient | Spleen† colonies | Spleen weight, mg |
---|---|---|---|
Uninjected (4) | 0 | 0.3 ± 0.5 | 20 ± 1 |
Unsorted (4) | 5 × 104 | 10 ± 2 | 94 ± 33 |
lacZneg (5) | 5 × 104 | 1 ± 2 | 28 ± 17 |
lacZint (5) | 6 × 103 | 50 ± 43 | 62 ± 35 |
lacZhigh (5) | 6 × 103 | 103 ± 27 | 151 ± 37 |
Bone marrow cells from SCLlacZ/w mice were injected into irradiated recipients. The number of recipients for each fraction is given in parentheses.
Spleens were harvested after 12 days and macroscopic colonies counted. Values represent the mean ± SD colony numbers calculated per 5 × 104 cells injected.
