A defect in hematopoietic stem cell migration explains the nonrandom X-chromosome inactivation in carriers of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
6 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
A defect in cell trafficking and chemotaxis plays an important role in the immune deficiency observed in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS). In this report, we show that marrow cells from WAS protein (WASP)-deficient mice also have a defect in chemotaxis. Serial transplantation and competitive reconstitution experiments demonstrated that marrow cells, including hematopoietic progenitors and stem cells (HSCs), have...
