(A) Representative flow cytograms and gating strategy for sorting cKithi, cKitlo, cKit+/hiCD7+, cKitloCD7+, and cKitloCD10+ subsets of PB HPCs and for CD127 expression in CD7+ PB HPCs (upper panels). PFs of cDCs, pDCs, T cells and NK cells were obtained by LDA of each HPC subsets using OP9-DL1 co-culture (lower panels).
(B) Flow cytometric analyses of CD127 expression (upper) in CD34+CD7−, CD34+CD7+, and CD34−CD7+ cells generated in four-week-bulk-culture of PB HPCs. CD5 and CD56 expressions were analyzed for the three HPC subsets (lower).
