Analysis of engraftment of HW80 hosts from experiments 2 and 3 receiving tertiary transplants of wild-type, STAT5ab-/-, or c-Mpl-/- BM cells. BM cells harvested from 2 wild-type C57BL/6 (Hbs) and 2 STAT5ab-/- (Hbs) mice were serially transplanted into lethally irradiated HW80 recipients (Hbd) for both experiment 2 (A) and experiment 3 (B). Twelve weeks following tertiary transplantation, mice were bled, and the red blood cells were analyzed by hemoglobin electrophoresis for the relative contribution of Hbs and Hbd to the peripheral blood engraftment. In addition to the STAT5ab-/- and wild-type BM grafts, experiment 3 also included mice receiving c-Mpl-/- BM cells collected from 2 donor mice. Shown on the right of all sets of gels are positive controls for the Hbs and Hbd bands. The %Hbs for each individual mouse is shown below each lane.
