Donor stem cells used for transplantation (10 × 106/recipient) were obtained from wild-type (+/+) or null mutant (−/−) littermates, and peripheral blood was evaluated 14 to 18 weeks after transplantation. MCV indicates mean corpuscular volume; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; WBC, white blood cells; PMN, polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
