The F-SU/GFP specifically bound to mammalian tissue cultured cells expressing the mCAT-1, the receptor for ecotropic murine leukemia virus (Eco-MuLV). The expression level of mCAT-1 on hematopoietic cells as measured based on the capacity of cells to absorb the F-SU/GFP. In BALB/c mice susceptible to Eco-MuLV infection, all hematopoietic cell subpopulations absorbed the F-SU/GFP ith the most prominent absorption observed in the TER119+ erythroblasts. Hematopoietic cells from C4W and AKR mice did not absorb the F-SU/GFP as readily as the BALB/c cells, probably due to expression of the envelope glycoproteins of endogeneous Eco-MuLVs in these mice. Although AKR mice are susceptible to Eco-MuLV infection hile C4W mice are resistant, these mice showed no apparent difference in the F-SU/GFP-absorbing capacity.}, pages = {507--519}, title = {Expression of receptor for ecotropic murine leukemia virus on hematopoietic cells}, volume = {146}, year = {2001} }
