Figure 7. Development proceeds normally in fetal liver chimeras and transplanted thymii.

A and B, Fetal liver cells isolated from E14 ezrin^−/− or wild type controls were injected into lethally irradiated congenic wildtype recipients. Bone marrow, spleen and thymii were harvested at 6 weeks and analyzed by flow cytometry. A, Cellularity of donor cells was assessed. B, Population analysis of CD45.2 donor cells. C, Thymii from one to three day old ezrin^−/− mice or littermate controls were transplanted into wildtype recipients. After nine weeks, thymii were harvested and analyzed by flow cytometry.
