Abstract excerpt
The alpha integrin GPIIb is a marker of hematopoietic progenitors. Using a marking strategy based on Cre-loxP technology to trace the fate of GPIIb-expressing cells, we show that GPIIb is expressed during early definitive embryonic hematopoiesis. However, the marked fetal population is distinct from the hematopoietic cells that predominate in the adult, suggesting that at least two waves of progenitors arise...
