The relative values were obtained by measuring the densities of the 2.5 kb KEL transcript from Northern blots. All values were standardized for equal amounts of actin transcript. For ease of comparison, the amount of 2.5-kb KEL transcript in bone marrow was assigned a 100% value.

PBL, peripheral blood lymphocyte.
