BM cells from primary recipients described in Table 1 were retransplanted into secondary lethally irradiated Ly-5.1 mice (0.5 femur equivalent/mouse). Ten weeks later, the percent of donor-derived cells in various lineages of peripheral blood cells was determined by flow cytometry. Hematopoietic progenitors in the BM were assayed by plating in semisolid medium. All values are expressed as the mean ± SEM.
