The mice that established short- and long-term SCID repopulation are tabularized both by the total number of mice that engrafted and as a percentage of the total assays performed. The data were stratified by progenitor cell dose. Mice receiving a “high” transplant dose received greater than the final estimated dose for long-term SRCs for ALDHbr CD34+ cells (4867 cells; see text); mice receiving a “low” transplant dose received less than that estimate. Short-term engraftment was defined 7 weeks after transplantation by the presence of human CD45+ hematopoietic cells within the peripheral blood. Long-term engraftment was defined ≥ 19 weeks after transplantation by the capacity to establish multiple-lineage hematopoietic development in multiple tissues.
