• 8 weeks following transplant of wild-type and mutant ES cells (1:1) into Rag2-deficient mice, mutant ES cells show a mild competitive disadvantage in reconstitution of hematopoietic compartments, particularly in generation of CD8+ T cells; generation of splenic B cells and B220-CD11c+ dendritic cells is also modestly impaired
