Reciprocal Bone Marrow Transplantation

Mouse groups	TNC Expression: Heart	TNC Expression: Bone Marrow	Cardiac Function*
T-WT	Positive	Negative	Lower
WT-T	Negative	Positive	Higher
WT-WT	Positive	Positive	Higher
T-T	Negative	Negative	Lower

^*Lower means function deteriorated and higher means it improved. The cardiac function of the positive control group (W-W) was compared to the negative control group (T-T) and vice versa, while the cardiac function of other recipient groups was compared to the similar recipient control group.

T = tenascin-C knockout; TNC = tenascin-C; WT = wild-type.
