In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The authors incorrectly categorized thy/liv implanted SCID-hu mice as showing no multilineage hematopoeisis. To clarify, Namikawa 1990, showed that SCID mice implanted with both Thy/Liv displayed multilineage hematopoiesis. Specifically, they showed in addition to T cells (CD3, CD4 and CD8), the presence of mature and immature forms of myelomonocytic cells which stained positive for human CD15, as well as progenitors for erythroids and megakaryocytic lineages (1).
