Values are ± SD. Numbers in parentheses indicate numbers of animals from each genotype.
BW indicates body weight.
Mice were 2 to 3 months old. Reticulocytes were counted in smears with the use of new methylene blue staining. Between 3000 and 4000 total cells were counted for each mouse.
Mice were 2 to 5 months old. Spleen weights are shown for males only.
P < .05 for comparison of percentage of reticulocytes in Tmod1−/−Tg+ mice with Tmod1+/+Tg+ mice. Other comparisons were not statistically significant.
