Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The evolutionarily conserved Kit receptor is vital for function of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Kit(W-41) (W-41) and Kit(W-42) (W-42) are single residue changes in the KIT intracellular phosphotransferase domain, while Kit(W-v) (W-v) is a single residue change in the ATP binding domain. This study tests how each mutation affects HSC function. METHODS: Cells in mutant and C57BL/6J(+/+) blood and...
