Methods

Expansion of CD34+ cells in serum free medium

  • Isolated CD34+ cells were seeded at a density of 5×104cells per 500 µl of medium'>Stempro medium , in 24-well tissue culture plates .
  • Growth factors used were IL-6, SCF, TPO, and Flt-3-L at a final concentration of 25 ng/ml with (test cells) and without (control cells) the addition of either zVADfmk −100 nM or zLLYfmk −10 µM (MP, , ).
  • After the 10th day of culture, the cells were collected from the suspension culture, and centrifuged (1000 rpm for 5 minutes).
  • The cells were used for assessing the in vitro homing properties or were used for in vivo homing studies in NOD/SCID mice.

  • MLL-AF9 was introduced by spin-infection (1 000 g for 90 minutes) using a retroviral vector (MSCV-MLL-AF9-neo) 6 live cells per mouse were injected into lethally irradiated (9Gy) C57BL/6 recipient mice 12 hours after viral infection.
  • The mice were sacrificed once they became moribund.
  • BM cells were isolated as described above, and subjected to ACK lysis.
  • 200 000 cells were injected into sublethally irradiated (4.5 Gy)…
