Blood Chimerism Analysis in Parabiotic Mice
Study on peripheral blood chimerism in parabiotic mice using flow cytometry. Shows percentage of partner-derived blood leukocytes in different parabiont pairs. Data presented with mean and standard deviation. Relates to previous studies on hematopoietic stem cells plasticity and migration.

Figure S1 Figure S1 Blood chimerism between parabiosed partners. Parabiotic mice were analyzed for the degree of peripheral blood chimerism by flow cytometry. Data are plotted as the mean (+/- SD) percent young partner-derived (Ly5.2+ or GFP+) blood leukocytes present in the bloodstream of young isochronic or old heterochronic parabionts, or of old partner-derived (Ly5.1+) leukocytes present in the blood of young heterochronic parabionts. Flow cytometry was performed as previously described1,2. 1. Wagers,A.J., Sherwood,R.I., Christensen,J.L. & Weissman,I.L.
