Competitive repopulation assay. (A) Frequency of CRUs in the fetal liver. The peripheral blood cells in the congenic recipient mice injected with 14.5-dpc fetal liver cells were examined to assess the long-term reconstitution capacity of HSCs. 3 mo after transplantation, the proportion of mice exhibiting >1% EGFP+ cells was used to calculate the frequency of CRU. Black squares, wild-type; black circles, rae28 / (B and C) Serial transplantation experiments. Lethally irradiated recipient mice were injected with fetal liver cells including 20 CRUs, and 1 mo after injection frequency of CRUs in the primary recipient mice was determined by CRU assay. Frequency of CRUs derived from the wild-type and rae28 / cells was calculated from Figs. B and C, respectively. Note the number of injected cells shown in the top column of the figures is 10 times different between Figs. B and C.
