Ablation of MK2 increases dOCP^lo cells in male mice, but not female mice.

<p>(A) Representative flow cytometry of bone marrow from male and female <i>Mk2</i>^<i>+/+</i> and <i>Mk2</i>^<i>-/-</i> mice. (B) Enumeration of Gr-1^-CD11b^lo cells as a percent of the hematopoietic stem cell population (HSC, top) and CD115+ as a percent of Gr-1^-CD11b^<i>lo</i> cells (bottom). (C) Enumeration of CD11b surface expression in female (left) and male (right) mouse bone marrow cells. Data are expressed as means ± SE compared to <i>Mk2</i>^<i>+/+</i> controls (*<i>P</i>≤0.05).
