Figure 8.

Fgd5ZsGreen•ZsGreen/+ reporter expression marks all HSC subtypes and also endothelial cells in the BM. (A) BM ZsGreen+ (green histograms) and ZsGreen (gray histograms) cells of Fgd5ZsGreen•ZsGreen/+ mice co-stained and gated through lineage (Ter119, Mac-1, Gr-1, B220, CD3, CD4, CD8, and IL7Rα), c-Kit, Sca1, CD48, and CD150 (n = 5 or more). (B) Sub-fractionation of LKSFlk2CD34−/low into CD150hi (red gates), CD150lo (green gates), and CD150neg (blue gates) HSC subtypes from young (4 mo) and mid-aged (14 mo) Fgd5+/+ and Fgd5ZsGreen•ZsGreen/+ mice. (C) Histograms showing ZsGreen expression of each of the indicated HSC subtypes from the mice shown in B. MFI of each of the indicated HSC subtypes is shown (bottom). A minimum of n = 3 mice for each stained were analyzed with the exception of 14-mo-old mouse (n = 1). (D) Adult femoral BM cavity microvascular network based on 3D reconstruction of a series of confocal images showing arterial and sinusoidal microvessels (stained with Laminin in red) and Fgd5Zsgreen•ZsGreen/+ reporter expression (green). Projection depth 54 µm. Grid squares (white box) are 51.3 µm × 51.3 µm (left) and 42.9 µm × 42.9 µm (right).
