All animals studied were transplanted as outlined in “Materials and methods” with oncoretroviral or lentiviral vectors as noted. Displayed are, for both vectors in each of the 3 animals, the percentage of fluorescence-positive cells in liquid culture 3 days after transduction and the percentage of fluorescence-positive colonies plated immediately after transduction. Growth factors used for this set of animals were interleukin 3, interleukin 6, stem cell factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, megakaryocyte growth and development factor, and fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand at 100 ng/mL each.

Phoenix-GALV indicates Phoenix-GALV/MNDEYFPSN; lenti, VSV-G/RRLsin.cPPT.hPGK.GFP.Wpre; EGFP, enhanced green fluorescent protein; EYFP, enhanced yellow fluorescent protein; ANC, absolute neutrophil count; and, nd, not done.
