Figure 4. TSLP sustains the differentiation of WT BM progenitors toward the B- and T-cell lineages in vivo. (A) Absolute cell number per 2 femurs 6 weeks after reconstitution of lethally irradiated IL-7−/−, WT, and IL-7−/− K14-TSLP Tg recipients with 107 BM cells (CD45.1+) is shown. (B) FACS profiles were gated on CD45.1+ donor cells. Regions indicate the pro-B/pre-B-I (CD19+c-kit+), pre-B-II (CD19+CD25+), mature (CD19+B220highIgM+), and immature (CD19+B220+IgM+) B cells. Numbers are mean and standard deviation of percentage (n = 3). (C) Absolute CD45.1+ thymocyte number and (D) percentages of donor-derived SP (CD4+CD8−, CD4−CD8+), DP (CD4+CD8+) thymocytes are shown. (E) Absolute CD45.1+ splenocyte number. Histograms represent the mean and standard deviation from analyzing 3 animals. (F) Regions indicate splenic CD4+, CD8+, and γδ+ T cells, and CD19+ B cells containing follicular (CD23+CD21+) and MZ (CD21high CD23−) B cells. Numbers are mean and standard deviation of percentage (n = 3). (G) RAG2−/− γc−/−, WT, and RAG2−/− γc−/− K14-TSLP Tg mice were analyzed at 10 weeks of age. Regions indicate the committed (CD19+B220+) B cells in the BM. Representative FACS analyses of 1 of 3 mice.
