Human CD34+ CB precursors, sorted as CD34+CD19−CD56−EGFP+ after infection with MigR1 and DNMAML1 retroviral constructs, were subjected to FTOC. Cultures were analysed after 14 and 30 days, as indicated, and at each time point 3 lobes of each viral construct were pooled. Results shown are derived from 3 independent experiments. (A) Reduction in the frequency of DNMAML1 transduced EGFP+ cells in FTOC compared to the frequency of control MigR1 transduced EGFP+ CB progenitors. Numbers in histograms indicate the percentage of EGFP+ cells. (B) Reduction in the absolute number of DNMAML1 (white bars) transduced EGFP+ cells that are generated in FTOC after 14 and 30 days of culture compared to the MigR1 control (black bars). Numbers indicate the average number of EGFP+ cells (± SD) that were generated per lobe, initiated with 10,000 EGFP+ cells. (C) Flow cytometric analysis of FTOCs after 30 days of culture, gated on EGFP+ cells as shown in histograms on the right in (A). Numbers in dot plots indicate the percentage of cells in the indicated areas.

(A) Flow cytometric analysis for FTOCs as shown for DNMAML1 transduced FTOC cultures from Figure 1 at Day 19 of culture. Dot plot shows propidiumiodide (PI) and anti-mouse CD45 staining versus FSC. Histogram shows EGFP expression for PI− mouseCD45− gated human thymocytes. Histogram at the bottom shows anti-human CD7 staining for both EGFP− and EGFP+ cells as indicated. (B) Dot plots show anti-human CD45 staining versus EGFP expression for MigR1 and DNMAML1 transduced thymocytes pre- and post-sorting, performed for gene expression. Sorting was performed after retroviral transduction and after a 24hour OP9-DL1 coculture as mentioned in Materials and Methods and in the legend of Fig 1. Numbers in dot plots indicate the percentage of cells in the indicated areas.

-
(A) Flow cytometric analysis of CD4 versus CD8β and CD3 versus TCR-αβ staining after 14 and 21 days of coculture of CD34+CD1+ thymocytes on OP9-DL1. Numbers in dot plots indicate the percentage of cells in the indicated areas. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of CD34+CD1+ thymocytes on OP9-DL1 after 6 days of coculture. Histograms show CD7, CD14, CD19, CD123, and CD56 expression. Dot plots show CD4 versus CD1 and HLA-DR versus CD4 expression. Numbers in dot plots indicate the percentage of cells in the indicated areas. Numbers in histograms indicate the percentage of positive cells for the specific marker.

Flow cytometric analysis of CD4 versus CD8β and CD3 versus TCR-αβ staining after 13 days of coculture of CD4+CD28− and CD4+CD28+ thymocytes on OP9-DL1. Numbers in dot plots indicate the percentage of cells in the indicated areas.

-
CD34+CD1− thymocytes, sorted for EGFP after control and TCR-β transduction, were cocultured on OP9-DL1 (A–C) and OP9-control (D–F) stromal cells in the presence 0 or 5 µM GSI. Cultures were analysed after 12 days. Results shown are derived from 2 independent experiments. (A+D) Flow cytometric analysis, gated on EGFP+ cells, shows CD4/CD8β and CD3/TCR-αβ staining of OP9-DL1 (A) and OP9-control (D) cultures. (B+E) Average of the total number of cells (± SD), plotted on a log scale, generated in OP9-DL1 (B) and OP9-control (E) cultures. (C+F) Average number of CD3+TCRαβ+ cells (± SD), plotted on a linear scale, generated in OP9-DL1 (C) and OP9-control (F) cultures.

Human CD34+CD1− thymocytes, sorted for EGFP after control and TCR-β transduction, were subjected to FTOC in the presence of 0 or 5 µM GSI. Cultures were analysed after 11 days and 3 lobes of each condition were pooled. Results shown are derived from 3 independent experiments. (A) Flow cytometric analysis, gated on EGFP+ cells, shows CD4/CD8β, CD3/TCR-αβ, CD3/TCR-γδ surface profiles and intracellular staining of CD3ε and TCR-β. (B) Average of the total number of cells generated (± SD), plotted on a log scale. (C) Average number of CD3+TCR αβ+ cells generated (± SD), plotted on a log scale.
