hematopoietic system
• splenic BFU-e and CFU-e progenitors are increased by 3.2 and 4.6 fold compared to wild-type; mutants have 1.9x as many spleen cells in null mice
|
• null mice exhibit a less severe phenylhydrazine-induced anemia and faster recovery compared to wild-type
|
• null mice have 30% more bone marrow cells than controls
|
• the earliest erythropoietic progenitors (burst forming units) are increased 1.7 fold in bone marrow compared to wild-type
|
immune system
• splenic BFU-e and CFU-e progenitors are increased by 3.2 and 4.6 fold compared to wild-type; mutants have 1.9x as many spleen cells in null mice

growth/size/body
• splenic BFU-e and CFU-e progenitors are increased by 3.2 and 4.6 fold compared to wild-type; mutants have 1.9x as many spleen cells in null mice
