Abstract excerpt
We have examined the effects of administration of stem cell-factor (SCF) on the number and distribution of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSC) in normal mice. Using the competitive repopulation assay we found that in vivo administration of SCF increases the absolute number of PHSC per mou...
