For each vector, n = 15.

Transduction efficiency was defined as the percent GFP+ bone marrow cells approximately 24 hours following retroviral transduction. Transduced CFC dose was calculated as CFC transplanted × transduction efficiency.

Transduction efficiency calculated in this manner agreed with direct examination of CFC assays by fluorescent microscopy (data not shown). Results for each vector reflect 3 independent experiments (5 mice per experiment).
