(A) Blood smears from newborn wt and Stat5−/− mice stained with benzidine (stains hemoglobin). (B) Blood smears from newborn wt and Stat5−/− mice stained with Wright-Giemsa. (C) Frequency of BFU-E colonies from wt versus Stat5−/− fetal liver cells (data are presented as mean ± SD; n=4).

(A) Pregnant Stat5+/− females were pulsed with BrdU for 1h, and fetal livers were isolated. Typical flow-cytometry data for Ter119/BrdU double positive fetal livers from wt embryos (left) and corresponding quantification of wt versus Stat5-deficient cells (right; data presented as mean ± SD; n=4) is shown. (B) Fetal liver erythroblasts grown under self-renewal conditions from wt and Stat5−/− embryos were stained with CFSE. Dilution of fluorescence over time was analyzed by flow cytometry as indicated as a measure of proliferation rates. Representative histograms taken from three independently performed experiments are depicted. (C) Western blot analysis for PCNA with lysates from primary erythroblast derived from wt and Stat5−/− fetal livers under self-renewal is depicted. Actin was used as loading control.

-
E13.5 fetal livers were isolated and stained according to6,7 for CMP (common myeloid progenitor) GMP (granulocytic/monocytic progenitor) and MEP (megakaryocytic /erythroid progenitor). Note the increase of the MEP population in Stat5−/− fetal livers (data are presented as mean ± SD; n=3–5).

-
(A) Wt and Stat5−/− erythroid progenitors were sorted from fetal livers and sub-fractioned according to their cell surface marker phenotype (R2: TfR-1+/ Ter119lo; R3: TfR-1+/Ter119hi; R4+R5: TfR-1lo/− Ter119hi). Aliquots of the respective sub-fractions were cyto-centrifuged onto glass slides and subsequently stained with either May-Grunwald Giemsa (left panels) or Benzidine-Wright Giemsa (right panels).

-
Lysates from wt and Stat5−/− erythroblasts were subjected to Western blot analysis for ferritin. Total-eIF2-alpha was used as loading control.

Lysates from wt and Stat5−/− erythroblasts were subjected to Western blot analysis. Total-eIF4E was used as loading control.
