Figure 2.
Southern blot analysis showing clonal repopulation of mice receiving transplants with limiting numbers of Sca1+lin– BCR-ABL–transduced (GFP+)+/+ and SHIP–/– cells. Genomic DNA was digested with EcoR1 and probed for GFP. EcoR1 cleaves once within the retroviral sequence; therefore, each fragment represents a unique site of retroviral integration. Lanes 1-10 and 11-18 show the results for DNA isolated from the spleen or liver of sick mice injected with 103 to 2 × 104 Sca-1+lin–GFP+ BCR-ABL–transduced cells from +/+ cells and SHIP–/– mice, respectively. Molecular size markers are also indicated. M indicates marker.
