Mean peripheral blood cell counts (±SD) of control nontransgenic, HαIIb-tk, and MαIIb-tk mice (n = 5), before (D0) and after 9 days (D9) of GCV administration (0.1 mg/day/g body weight). The counts shown are per μL of blood volume. The number in brackets refers to the integrated copies of the transgene.
