Above: Section through the bone of a female mouse transplanted with male haematopoietic stem cells that have been transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing eGFP, using a reduced toxicity conditioning regimen. Blue - nuclei, Red - eGFP immunostaining, Green - Y probe. Six weeks after transplant, male (Y+) donor cells populate approximately 60% of the bone marrow, with eGFP expressing male donor cells making up around 60% of those.
