Fig. 1.
The expression level of c-kit on Lin− cells after an MCMV infection. The mice were inoculated with 1 × 105 PFU of MCMV on day 0. On various days after infection, as shown in the figure, the mice were killed in order to remove their bone marrow cells. Using flow cytometry, the expression level of c-kit on these cells was examined after the Lin− populations were gated. The numbers in the figure represent the mean percentage of c-kit+ cells in the Lin− cell populations. *Significant decrease versus uninfected control (P < .05).
