hematopoietic system
• there is about a 2-fold reduction in myeloid CFU number isolated from E13.5 fetal livers
• a similar reduction in CFU is observed with bone marrow cells
|
• there is about a 3-fold reduction in pre-B cell CFUs isolated from bone marrow
|
• mutant HSC bone marrow cells give less then a 1% long-term reconstitution when transplanted at a 1:1 ratio with wild-type bone marrow into irradiated mice
• mutant HSC bone marrow cells give only a 2% long-term reconstitution when transplanted at a 10:1 ratio
• poor reconstitution is observable as little as 4 weeks after transfer
