STAT indicates signal transducers and activators of transcription.

*

Sample sizes consisted of 6 to 8 mice per group analyzed 7 to 11 weeks after transplantation. Mice used for analysis appeared to be healthy and did not show signs of sickness related to splenomegaly disease. The % control is calculated for the average STAT5ab−/− relative to the STAT5ab+/+hematology values. P values were calculated by using the Student 2-tailed t test.
