Table 2. Competitive Repopulating Capacity of IL-31 R -/- and Control (+/+) Bone Marrow Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Lethally Irradiated Recipients.

	Percent Chimerism
	1 Month	2 Months	4 Months	6 Months
+/+	60±8	67±9	70±10	70±12
IL-31 R -/-	59±9	61±14	61±20	60±24

Mononuclear bone marrow cells from +/+ and IL-31 R -/- mice (both C45.2⁺) were competed against an equal number of congenic B6/BoyJ (CD45.1⁺) mononuclear bone marrow cells and injected into lethally irradiated B6.BoyJ mice. Percent CD45.2 chimerism was assessed at 1, 2, 4, and 6 months post transplantation. Results, shown as mean ± 1SD, are based on cells from 3 donors in each group, with each donor collection transplanted into 5 lethally irradiated recipients.
