Effect of Wv and Nf1genotypes on spleen weight, splenic cellularity, WBC count, and total number of HPP-CFCs and LPP-CFCs per spleen in primary recipients

Spleen weight, splenic cellularity, white blood cell counts, and total numbers of HPP-CFCs and LPP-CFCs per spleen were measured in primary recipients of transplanted fetal liver cells from the 4 F2 experimental groups (outlined in “Study design”) 4 months after transplantation. Total numbers of HPP-CFCs and LPP-CFCs per spleen represent the mean number of colonies ± SEM in 3 replicate experiments from spleen cells harvested from the same primary recipient.

P < .05 for comparisons ofNf1−/−;Wv/Wv orNf1−/−;Wv+/+ versusNf1+/+;Wv+/+ primary recipients by paired Student t test.
