Though this study cannot address the origin of the HSC per se, it clearly illustrates different genetic requirements between primitive and adult hematopoietic progenitors.

The T-cell leukemia oncoprotein SCL/tal-1 is essential for development of all hematopoietic lineages. of outstanding interest Cell. 86:1996;47-57 This paper extends previous analysis of the SCL/tal-1 knockout phenotype [12, 13] and establishes a global, cell-autonomous hematopoietic defect. SCL/tal-1 is the first gene shown to be required at the earliest, definable stage of hematopoietic development, yet is dispensable for vascular formation. Rescue of SCL/tal-1 null ES cells by retroviral gene transfer is used to demonstrate that the phenotype relates specifically to SCL/tal-1 loss, rather than an unrelated consequence of gene targeting.
