Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) population and colony-forming activity of bone marrow (BM) cells. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of BM cells using various antibodies against indicated cell surface markers. pHSCs were defined as lineage−, Sca-1+, c-Kit+, Flk-2−, CD150+, CD34−/low. (B) The number of HSCs examined by flow cytometry (A) per 1 × 106 BM cells obtained from β4GalT-1+/− (ht, n = 4) and β4GalT-1−/− mice (mt, n = 4). (C) Colony-forming ratios of BM cells obtained from β4GalT-1+/− (ht, n = 9) and β4GalT-1−/− mice (mt, n = 9). Error bars indicate the S.D.
