Values represent the mean ± SD from 5 mice of each genotype

Number of megakaryocytes counted at × 400 magnification (bone marrow) or × 200 magnification (spleen), with 30 high-power fields (hpf) counted per mouse

Percentage of CD4+/CD8+ cells, and B220 or Thy1.2 single-positive cells as determined by flow cytometric analysis of single cell suspensions of thymus and lymph nodes

§

P < .05 versus data from wild-type (gp 130+/+) mice. No other statistically significant differences were observed between genotypes
