hematopoietic system
N |
• mice exhibit normal peripheral blood cell counts and frequencies of myeloid progenitor cells in the bone marrow
|
• following treatment with phenylhydrazine or 5-fluorouracil to induce anemia, mice exhibit increased reticulocyte and red blood cell production compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
• in vitro, erythroblast development is accelerated compared to wild-type cells
• when bone marrow is transplanted in to wild-type mice, there is an increase in short-term repopulation compared to when wild-type cells are transplanted
• however, the number of B220+ cells when bone marrow is transplanted into wild-type mice is normal

• in the spleen
