Expression of CD4 and CD8 was assessed on CD3+ T cells by three-color flow cytometric analysis. Results are expressed as a percentage of all CD3+ cells.

F3-150

CD34+ cells were transduced with the indicated retroviral vector, cultured on thymic stroma for 15 days, and expanded by stimulation with ConA, irradiated human PBMC, and IL-2; then CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were selected by cell sorting. These cells were then restimulated, cultured in the presence of G418 (200 μg/mL G418, active concentration), restimulated, and then infected with SIVmac239. Untransduced CD34+ cells were cultured in parallel up until the point of G418 selection.
