FIG 3.
Analysis of EpoR-Cre transgenic expression. Fetal liver cells were analyzed by flow cytometry following the expression of GFP in frame with Cre recombinase in EpoR-Cre mice. Expression of GFP confined to the erythroid cell compartment was detected initially in KIT+ CD71+ cells at E11.5 (green population, controls; red population, TAF10KOcEry erythroid cells). Erythroid cells were affected in TAF10KOcEry embryos, and that is why the percentage (the numbers shown in the graphs) of CD71+ GFP+ cells is lower than that of control cells at E12.5. By E13.5 most of the cells were dead.
