Analysis of the relationship between Thy‐1 expression and cell‐cycle distribution of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) showed that freshly isolated Thy‐1+ and Thy‐1− subsets of the CD34highCD38−flt‐3−Lin− population were predominantly in G0/G1 phase and remained essentially quiescent, whereas after 6 days of cytokine stimulation, the Thy‐1+ subset of the population entered the cycling state while the Thy‐1− subset again remained quiescent. Expression of Thy‐1 antigen resulted in a drastic increase in the percentage of cycling cells in CD34highCD38‐flt‐3‐Lin‐Thy‐1+‐ as well as CD34highCD38−flt‐3−Lin− Thy‐1−‐cell‐initiated cultures. The Thy‐1+ subset of the CD34highCD38−flt‐3−Lin− population exists in the freshly isolated CD34highCD38−flt‐3−Lin− Thy‐1+ fraction, loses Thy‐1 expression during 6 days, and re‐expresses Thy‐1 for an additional 2 days. Cell‐cycle analysis demonstrated that this unique subset contains abundant S/G2M cells. Thus, Thy‐1 expression appears to be an indicator of cell‐cycle phase in targeting HSC, which might serve in the cell subset best suited for gene transfer. Am. J.
