Erythroid progenitors in conditional bcl-x^−/− and control mice

	Conditional bcl-x−/−	Bled control	Unbled control
Spleen
Total TER-119+ cells	294 ± 56	16 ± 0.8†	2.4 ± 0.4†
Apoptotic TER-119+ cells	34 ± 8.9	0.9 ± 0.2†	0.1 ± 0.04†
Marrow
Total TER-119+ cells	4.2 ± 0.8	10 ± 1.0†	6.8 ± 1.1
Apoptotic TER-119+ cells	0.2 ± 0.08	0.2 ± 0.01	0.1 ± 0.05
Total body*
Total TER-119+ cells	299 ± 57	27 ± 1.1†	9 ± 1.4†
Apoptotic TER-119+ cells	34 ± 8.9	1.1 ± 0.2†	0.2 ± 0.05†

Erythroid progenitors are shown as × 10⁻⁷. All data are mean ± SEM of 6 mice.

^*Total body equals the sum of cells in the spleen and marrow.

^†P < .05 using t test comparing to conditional bcl-x^−/−.
