Single-cell suspensions of AGM were injected into irradiated adult recipients. For LTR activity, each result represents the num ber of engrafted mice at ≥20 weeks post-transplantation (showing more than 5% donor CD45.2 cells in peripheral blood) out of the total number of mice transplanted. Two or three independent experiments were performed. For secondary transplantations, 5×105 bone marrow cells isolated from primary recipients with high chimerism were injected, and mice were analyzed 7 weeks post-transplantation (two independent experiments).
