Recipients of transduced leukemic cells were killed when visibly ill. Percentages of cells expressing GFP are shown. For most groups, values are means ± SDs. Values in parentheses indicate the number of mice in which GFP expression was assessed compared with total mice in the group.

NA indicates not applicable.

*

Some leukemias in hC/EBPɛ recipients do not express GFP.

The C/EBPα uORF tolerizes leukemic cells to the presence of C/EBPα-IRES-GFP retroviral transcript (rC/EBPα-WT versus rC/EBPα-ΔuORF; P = .01).

Values for individual mice are shown because of marked variations among mice.
