Blockage of IFN-α or IFN-γ signaling restores the capacity of Stat5b−/− cells to form colonies. BM cells of wt, Stat5a−/− or Stat5b−/− mice were infected with a retrovirus encoding BCR/ABLp185 or BCR/ABLp210 and plated in growth factor-free methylcellulose. In addition 10 µg/ml antibodies (Ab) blocking a IFNAR1 or b IFN-γ or c combination of both (in total 10 µg/ml) were added (n = 4 per genotype). Levels of significance were calculated using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test. Error bars represent means ± SEM. Right: representative pictures of CFA.
