Lack of CD34 expression on long-term engrafted human cells.
CD34+/CD38− cells were purified from human marrow and isolated as shown in the R2 gate (A). The cells were transplanted into primary bnx recipients and harvested 12 months later. The total marrow from one well-engrafted primarybnx recipient of the sorted cells from panel A is shown in panel B, demonstrating that there is no human CD34 expression either in the human CD38+ or in the total (human CD38− plus murine) fractions.
