Retroviral transduction efficiency as determined by G418R was equivalent within each experiment. Three experiments were established using CB. Results are presented as the percentage of G418R colonies established from different progenitor cells (viz, BFU-E, GM-CFC, G-CFC, M-CFC, and Mix-CFC) after transduction with LNL6 (N) or LNC(SCL) (S). A minimum of 40 colonies were scored to obtain the various percentages.

F0-150

DAF staining was performed after culture in methylcellulose for 7 days.
