aTransplanted mice received 1–2 e.e. of subdissected tissue. Only mice with greater than or equal to10% donor repopulation in the peripheral blood at 4–5 months after transfer were included as positive. Data are from a total of two independent experiments.

bFive embryo equivalents transplanted per mouse.

cNeither UGR nor AGM include metanephroi.

dAorta region: includes surrounding mesenchyme.
