Fig. 4. Induction of erythroid colony formation from fetal liver CFU-E progenitors requires the expression of the EpoR. Day-12.5 fetal liver cells dissected from EpoR−/− embryos (A) or from wild-type embryos (B) were infected with viruses encoding β-galactosidase (control), gp55-P, gp55-A, and murine EpoR. The retroviral vector used is indicated (SFFV or pBABE). Cells were assayed in CFU-E assays in the absence or presence of EPO or (in the right-most panel of [A]) in the presence of Epo and SF. Data represent the average of two experiments, each performed in duplicate; the variation was less than 20%.
