Lin– BM precursor cells were retrovirally transduced by control vector or dPH/R364E/dC expression vector. After transduction, cell migration induced by CXCL12 was analyzed by transwell migration assay, and migration of GFP-positive transfectants through the noncoated membrane or through the VCAM-1-coated membrane was compared (see Figure 5). Migration ratios were calculated by dividing the percentage of GFP-positive cells that migrated through the VCAM-1-coated membrane by the percentage of those migrating through the noncoated membrane in indicated cell populations. Data are presented as mean ± SD of results from 3 experiments.
