Serial transplantation assay for wild-type and jam1asd4 KMCs
(A) Experimental procedure for serial transplantation assay. DsRed-labeled KMCs from wild-type or jam1asd43 animals were co-transplanted with equivalent numbers of BFP-labeled wild-type KMCs into sub lethally irradiated wild-type recipients (wild-type or jam1asd43 group). At 4 weeks post-transplantation (wpt), KMCs from each recipient group were analyzed by FCM and further transplanted into secondary recipients, followed by FCM analysis at 6 wpt.
(B and C) Representative result of FCM analysis in recipients of wild-type or jam1asd43 group.
(D) Percentages of dsRed+ cells within the total BFP+ or dsRed+ cells in each group (mean ± s.e.m; n = 35 (wild-type) or 33 (jam1asd43) for primary; n = 14 (wild-type) or 16 (jam1asd43) for secondary). ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01.
