Transplanted human ALDHhiCD133+Lin- cells retain primitive hematopoietic phenotypes. BM from highly engrafted (24.9%-86.6% human CD45+) NOD/SCID β2M-null mice was analyzed for the maintenance of primitive cell surface phenotype 7 to 8 weeks after transplantation. Human cells were analyzed for the coexpression of CD34 with CD38 (A-B) or CD34 with CD133 (C-D).
