Fig. 2.
The expression level of Sca-1 and c-kit on Lin− cells after MCMV infection. The mice were inoculated with 1 × 105 PFU of MCMV. 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 Sca-1 and c-kit on these cells was examined after the Lin− populations were gated. The numbers in the figure represent the percentage of Sca-1+c-kit+ cells in the Lin− cell populations.
