Analysis of hematopoietic progenitor phenotype of Vegf^hi/+ and wt mice. Femurs, spleens, and blood were harvested from 8- to 10-week-old Vegf^hi/+ and age-matched wt mice. Cells from all tissues were prepared for flow cytometry evaluation for the hematopoietic progenitor markers CD34, CD36, and Ter119. The results are plotted as percentage of the total cell population in each tissue (BM indicates bone marrow; SP, spleen, and PBMCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells). **P < .05.
