aOnly mice with greater than or equal to10% donor repopulation in the peripheral blood at 4–9 months after transfer were included as positive. Data are from a total of 21 independent experiments.

bOrgan explants were cultured for 3 days prior to transplantation.

cAorta region: includes surrounding mesenchyme.

dAn average of 4.3 e.e. were transplanted in two experiments (range 4–5).
