growth/size/body

enlarged spleen ( J:132542 )

• splenomegaly is variable with mice having spleens of normal size up to 5 times normal size

hematopoietic system

hematopoietic system phenotype ( J:132542 )

N • 16-18-month old animals show similar ertythrocyte counts, hematocrits, hemoglobin concentrations, mean corpuscular volumes, and total leukocyte counts to wild-type mice

enlarged spleen ( J:132542 )

• splenomegaly is variable with mice having spleens of normal size up to 5 times normal size

abnormal erythropoiesis ( J:132542 )

• variably increased erythropoiesis is detected in the bone marrow
