Mean ± standard deviations of data from 3 to 6 mice of each genotype.

F5-150

Enumerated from histological sections at 200× (spleen) or 400× (bone marrow) magnification, with a minimum of 20 fields counted per mouse.

F5-151

P < .05 for pairwise comparison of data frommpl+/+ IL-3−/− with wild-type mice or for comparison of data from mpl−/−IL-3−/− mice with mpl−/−IL-3+/+ mice. No other significant differences existed (P > .05).
