A sex-specific reconstitution bias in the competitive CD45.1/CD45.2 congenic bone marrow transplant model

Abstract Allelic variants of the pan-haematopoietic cell marker CD45, identified as CD45.1 and CD45.2, have been established as a marker system to track haematopoietic cells following congenic mouse bone marrow transplants. Despite the frequent use of this model for studying the impact of genetic mo...
