Loss of quiescent LT-HSCs following <i>L</i>. <i>donovani</i> infection.

<p>(A and B) Frequency (A) and number (B) of Ki67⁺ within HSPCs populations in BM of naïve and d28-infected B6 mice. (C) Number of LT-HSCs in G0 (Ki67^-) in BM in naïve and d28-infected mice (n = 12 per group; three independent experiments). Data presented as scatter plot and mean bar; unpaired t test; *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01 ****p ≤0.0001. (D) Representative dot plots for Ki67 expression on LSK CD150⁺CD34^-CD48^- cells.
