Abstract excerpt
The genetic elements that govern the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells remain to be defined. We describe here marked strain-specific differences in the frequency of long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) in the bone marrow of different strains of mice. Mice of C57Bl/6 background showed the lowest levels of stem cells in marrow, averaging 2.4 +/- .06 LTC-IC/10(5) cells, BALB/c is...
