Figure 1. HSC isolated from the endosteal region and transplanted into nonablated recipients had a significantly higher homing efficiency to the bone marrow after 15 hrs compared to HSC isolated from the central marrow core (p< 0.05) (A).
In addition, HSC isolated from the endosteal region and transplanted into non-ablated recipients had a significantly higher affinity to relodge within the endosteal region of the bone marrow after 15 hrs compared to HSC isolated from the central marrow core (p < 0.05) (B). Data are the mean¡¾SEM from both endosteal and central marrow HSC isolated from 15 animals and transplanted into 3 individual recipients.
