CD34+CD38 cells were stimulated for 3 days with FL + SF + IL-3 + H-IL-6 and then exposed to new virus daily for 3 days. Twenty-four hours after the last addition of fresh virus, the cells were harvested and injected into sublethally irradiated NOD/SCIDβ2M−/− mice. These were sacrificed 6 weeks later and their marrow cells then analyzed for the presence of human cells expressing GFP as described in Materials and methods. Results are shown only for the 5 of 8 mice from 3 experiments in which engraftment of the mice with human cells was seen, where engraftment was defined as the presence of ≥ 5 lymphoid (CD34CD19/20+) and ≥ 5 myeloid (CD15+) human cells per 20 000 viable cells analyzed.

*

 This refers to the number of CD34+CD38cells at the start of the transduction protocol, the progeny of which were injected into each NOD/SCID-β2M−/−mouse.

 Values shown are the proportion of all viable (PI) cells retrieved from the BM of the mice that showed reactivity with antibodies to the human cell surface antigens shown.

 Proportion of cells in each subpopulation of human cells indicated that were GFP+.
