Fig. 3. A CMV-endoglin transgene rescues hemangioblast activity in
Eng-/- ES cells. (A) FACS analysis for endoglin
expression in Eng+/-, Eng-/- and
-/-:R5 (rescued clone) ES cells. Upper panels, undifferentiated cells (day 0);
lower panels, day 3 of EB differentiation. Fluorescence intensity is indicated
on the y axis. The x axis represents FITC, which provides a
measure of autofluorescence. (B) Number of BL-CFCs on day 3 EBs for
Eng+/-, Eng-/- and -/-:R5 ES cells.
Error bars indicate standard deviations from two independent experiments
performed in duplicate. *, P<0.01 versus -/-.
(C) Representative blast colonies shown at similar magnification
(200x).
