IC-Cd3 Intracytoplasmic Cd3, Mpo-myeloperoxidase, TdT-terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase.

a

Where present, the spleen, thymus, BM, and peripheral blood were immunophenotyped. All tissues were tested for Cd4, Cd8, B220, Cd3, and Cd25. All tumor samples were positive for Cd44.

b

In the majority of cases where IHC was performed, the samples were tested for Mpo, cKit/Cd117, Cd43, RUNX1, Cd3, Cd5, TdT, Gata-1, B220, Pax5, and Cd34. The markers that had positive reactivity are indicated in the text

c

These animals contained two distinct populations in their spleen, which could be distinguished by immunohistochemistry as indicated in the text.

d

Secondary transplant Rag2−/−, γC−/− recipients that received vector-positive thymocytes from a WT C57BL/6J animal that had been transplanted with 2 × 105 Lmo2, Arf−/−, and DN2 thymocytes 21 wk before sacrifice.
