  Bone Marrow Transplantation Procedures in Mice to Study Clonal Hematopoiesis Eunbee Park¹, Megan A. Evans⁴, Heather Doviak⁴, Keita Horitani⁴, Hayato Ogawa⁴, Yoshimitsu Yura⁴, Ying Wang², Soichi Sano^3,4, Kenneth Walsh^{1,4 1}Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, University of Virginia School of Medicine, ²Department of Cardiology, Xinqiao Hospital, Army Medical University, ³Department of Cardiology, Osaka City University Graduate School of Medicine, ⁴Hematovascular Biology Center, Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center, University of Virginia School of Medicine We describe three methods of bone marrow transplantation (BMT): BMT with total-body irradiation, BMT with shielded irradiation, and BMT method with no pre-conditioning (adoptive BMT) for the study of clonal hematopoiesis in mouse models.
