Analysis of Gata2 expression in hematopoietic progenitors and DCs. (A) DC differentiation pathway in mice. (B) Relative levels of Gata2 mRNA in Lin⁻Sca-1⁺Kit⁺ cells (lin⁻IL-7Rα⁻c-kit^hiSca-1^hi), CMPs (lin⁻IL-7Rα⁻c-kit^hiSca-1⁻FcγRII/III^intCD34⁺), GMPs (lin⁻IL-7Rα⁻c-kit^hiSca-1⁻FcγRII/III^hiCD34⁺), CLPs (lin⁻IL-7Rα⁺c-kit^intSca-1^int), CDPs (lin⁻IL-7Rα⁻c-kit^int∼loFLT3⁺M-CSFR⁺CD11c⁻), cDCs (B220⁻CD11c^hi), pDCs (B220⁺CD11c^lo), and BM-DCs (FLT3-l–induced DCs and GM-CSF–induced DCs) generated in vitro in the presence of FLT3-L or GM-CSF, respectively. Values are presented relative to those of Gapdh mRNA. Data represent the averages of 3 independent experiments and are expressed as means ± SDs. ND, not detectable.
