Lethally irradiated B6.SJL/BoyJ recipient mice (5 recipient mice for each cell dose) received a transplant of sorted LSK cells (CD45.2+) from Cited2+/+ (n = 5) and Cited2−/− (n = 4) fetal liver at 14.5 dpc at different cell doses as indicated. Donor-derived reconstitution was assessed by monitoring the percentage for CD45.2+ lymphoid (B220+) and myeloid (Gr-1+ and Mac-1+) cells in the peripheral blood at 15 weeks after transplantation. Mice that had more than 1% test sample–derived (CD45.2+) cells in both lymphoid and myeloid subpopulations were considered to be repopulated by test donor cells. The CRU frequency in the test fetal liver LSK cells was calculated by L-Calc software.
