Previously we reported that the size of the stem cell compartment (measured as LTC-IC) is 11-fold greater in DBA/2 than in C57BL/6 mice, and we identified genes that regulate the size of the stem cell pool. To determine whether stem cell intrinsic or extrinsic events account for these differences, we created chimeras by aggregating morulae from the strains C57BL/6 and DBA/2. In these chimeras stem cells of both genotypes are exposed to a common mixed environment. Thus, an equalization of stem cell frequencies is expected if stem cell extrinsic effects dominate. Conversely, the parental ratio of LTC-IC should be preserved if the regulation is stem cell autonomous. For each chimera, individual LTC-IC were genotyped on the clonal levels by analyzing their progeny. We found that most of the difference that regulates the size of the stem cell compartment was intrinsic.
