Homing of transplanted β4GalT-1^−/− BM cells. (A,B) Colony-forming ratios of splenocytes (A) and BM cells (B) obtained from wild-type recipient mice transplanted with β4GalT-1^+/− (n = 6–8) and β4GalT-1^−/− BM cells (n = 6–8), as measured 3 h and 24 h after transplantation. (C) Colony-forming ratios of splenocytes and BM cells obtained from NOD/SCID recipient mice transplanted with β4GalT-1^+/− (n = 4) and β4GalT-1^−/− BM cells (n = 4), as measured 24 h after transplantation. Blue bars, β4GalT-1^+/− cells; red bars, β4GalT-1^−/− cells. Error bars indicate the S.D. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001.
