Pro/anti-oxidant treatment specifically affects the viability of IL-7Rα-expressing cells. FACS-sorted Lin(−), IL-7Rα+ (A) and Lin(−), IL-7Rα (−) (B) hematopoietic progenitors were cultured in vitro in lymphoid-promoting media. The pro-oxidant BSO (0.1 mM) and antioxidant NAC (1 mM) were added to selected cultures and the number of viable cells in each culture condition was assessed using 7-AAD exclusion by flow cytometry on days 2 and 5 (n=2, *p<0.05). (C, D) The percentage of IL-7Rα+ cells was assessed in FACS-sorted Lin(−), IL-7Rα+ hematopoietic progenitors in the total viable (C) and Sca-1lo c-Kitlo Flk2+ (D) sub-populations by flow cytometry (n=3, *p<0.05).
