a

Immunophenotype determined by three-color flow cytometry with antibodies to CD3, B220, CD11b, CD4, CD8a, IgM, IgD, CD43, and CD138.

b

Number of mice, some with tumors of more than one type.

c

Number of analyzed tumors of each immunophenotype.

d

S, spleen; LN, lymph node (mesenteric or cervical); T, thymus.

e

Number of tumor samples with clonal ecotropic provirus integration(s)/number of tumor samples analyzed (as detected by Southern blot hybridization).

f

As determined by Southern blot analysis of genomic tumor DNA using TCRβ (J1 and J2)-, Ig(κ)-, and IgH-specific hybridization probes (number of tumor samples with rearrangement/number of tumor samples analyzed).

g

See the text for further description of different tumor types in the CD3+ subgroup.

h

ND, not determined.
