Contribution of fetal liver–derived cells was assessed based on the HLA alloantigen expression in the CD3high population.
ρ Expression of the nls-LacZ gene was determined by X-gal staining of cytospin prepared cells. The levels of expression were scored as: −, no β-gal+ cells in the slide; +, 1 - 10 β-gal+ cells/slide; ++, 11 - 50 β-gal+ cells/slide; +++, >50 β-gal+ cells/slide.
