摘要
The effect of mutations that truncate the WT1 protein on in vitro hematopoietic differentiation from embryonal stem cells has been examined by CFU-A assay, o-dianisidine staining for heme, and RT-PCR analysis of the expression of fetal and adult globins. In two independently isolated ES cell lines the mutations delay but do not abolish hematopoiesis. Analysis of replated CFU-A colonies indicates that the delay occurs prior to the formation of hematopoietic stem cells. The results demonstrate a role for WT1 at the onset of hematopoiesis.
