Blood was harvested 2 hours after treatment with fucoidan (100 mg/kg) from EGFP-αM+/+ and EGFP-αM-/- chimeric mice. WBC counts were determined using an automated cell counter. The number of fluorescent and nonfluorescent colonies was determined on day 7 after plating.

Conversion factor: WBC count (1 × 106/mL = 103/μL).

PBS indicates phosphate-buffered saline-treated; NA, not applicable; and Fuc, fucoidan-treated.
