Schematic overview of lentiviral constructs and experimental study design. (A) A bicistronic lentivirus: the global mPGK-promoter drives mCherry expression in all transduced cells, whereas the dLck- or CD3δ-promoter regulates eGFP-expression restricted to T-cells (cell-specific-promoter). (B) Experimental design: CD105+/Sca-1+ enriched BM cells were isolated from donor mice, transduced with the lentiviral constructs at day 1 and 2, followed by an enrichment of mCherry+ cells by FACS-sorting on day 7. Irradiated recipient mice were transplanted with mCherry+ HSCs. 24 weeks after HSC-transplantation. Thioglycolate mediated peritonitis was induced and samples were harvested for flow cytometric analysis 3 days later.
