LNK depletion restores FA-like human progenitor cells. a depicts a schematic overview of isolation of primary human HSPCs for lentiviral transduction followed by CFC assay. b UCB-derived CD34 + cells were sequentially infected with lentiviruses expressing shRNA to Luciferase (Luc) or FANCD2 (D2) with GFP marker, followed by shRNA to Luc or LNK with mCherry marker. GFP + mCherry + cells were then sorted and plated onto semi-solid methylcellulose media. Colony forming progenitor numbers are shown with a two-tailed Student's t-test. Representative data from two independent repeats are shown. c TF-1 cells with shRNA-mediated depletion of LNK or FANCD2 or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated depletion of LNK were analyzed for depletion efficiency by western blot. Luc, luciferase. gRNA, guide RNA
