The construct used for transplantation with FLT3-ITD-transduced bone marrow is indicated by “high” and “low” for the high- and low-expressing construct, respectively. EGFP indicates enhanced green fluorescent protein; BM, bone marrow; WBC, peripheral blood leukocyte count; WT, wild type; ITD, internal tandem duplication; MPD, myeloproliferative disease; PB, peripheral blood; ND, not determined; LN, lymph nodes; and ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

*

For spleen weight, 2 WT mice, 3 ITDlow mice, 3 ITDhigh mice, 2 D835Yhigh mice with T lymphoma, 2 D835Yhigh mice with B-ALL, 2 I836M + Rhigh mice with T lymphoma, and 3 I836M + Rhigh mice with negative phenotype were analyzed.
