hematopoietic system
• the numbers of erythroid burst-forming-units (BFU-E) are reduced in fetal liver cell preparations relative to wild-type
|
• embryos at E14.5, E15.5, and E18.5, and adults show lower hematocrits than wild-type
• challenging mutants with continuous injections of Epo results in a lower rate of increase in hematocrit than in wild-type or homozygous Eportm1Jni mutants
