F4-150

5 × 106 BMC, IV; where indicated, BMC were depleted of B and T cells as described in the Materials and Methods or BMC from NTG mice were depleted of B and T cells and substituted with mature T cells from rCD44v4-v7 TG mice (BMC:T cells = 9:1).

F4-151

In parentheses is the frequency/106 cells corrected for the relative percentage of donor-derived lymphocytes.

P ≤ .01.
