Hematopoietic capacity of connexin43 wild-type and knock-out fetal liver cells not different on wild-type stroma.

Abstract excerpt

In 1995 and 1997 we proposed that gap junctions between stromal and hematopoietic cells formed by connexin43 (Cx43) determine hematopoiesis. If this were the case, are the critical gap junctions in this regard those between hematopoietic and stromal cells, or those between stromal cells alone? To test the first possibility, we compared hematopoietic repopulating capacity between fetal liver hematopoietic cells...
