Table 2. Assay of TIC frequencies for Lrp5+ and Lrp cell subpopulations from Wnt-induced tumors.

Cell fraction % cells in fraction # of cells transferred Take rate Frequency of TICs (95% CI) (pGOF) TICs per 106 total cells (Lin−) Fold enrichment

Lrp5+ and Lrp5 (Lin−) cell fractions were purified by flow cytometry, assayed by isograft to mammary fat pads at limiting dilutions, and results were reported as for Table 1. Pairwise comparison of the Lrp+ and Lrp− cells shows that the TIC frequency is significantly different (* p = 2.34×10−5).
