Presence of progenitor cells in circulation was studied by staining WBC with antibodies against c-fms and c-kit. Cells were analyzed on FACScan using CellQuest software and total WBC count was determined by Sysmex K-1000.

Data are represented as mean ± SD. Ten to 12 mice of each genotype were analyzed.
