Short-term retention of eGFP⁺ early progenitor cells in the murine peritoneum. 1.1×0⁴ CD117⁺CD150⁺ donor cells from transgenic mice expressing eGFP in all tissues, were phenotyped by flow cytometry and transplanted i.p. into C57BL/6 mice. Peritoneum cells and hematopoietic cells were harvested, counted and phenotyped the same way after 24 hours and one week. Analysis of donor cells, peritoneum cells at 24 hours and one week, spleen at one week and peripheral blood at one week are shown. Data in the two columns on the left represent expression of CD150 and either CD117 or CD48 by viable cell (PI⁻), eGFP⁺ events. Data in the middle column represent the frequency of lineage expression from viable, eGFP⁺ events. Data in the two columns on the right represent CD150 and either CD117 or CD48 expression by viable, eGFP⁺ Lin^low cells.
