Table 2.

Red cell membrane rigidity in wild-type, Ank-1^1674/+, and Ank-1^1674/1674 mice

	Membrane rigidity	RBC volume
Wild-type (n = 4)	2.779 μN/m	45.3 fl
Ank-1^1674/+ (n = 4)	2.191 μN/m	42.5 fl
Ank-1^1674/1674 (n = 4)	> 50 μN/m	> 25 fl

P values were determined with Student t tests. Membrane rigidity: P values between wild-type and Ank-1^1674/+ were greater than .05; and less than .05 between wild-type and Ank-1^1674/1674. P values for the RBC volume between wild-type and Ank-1^1674/+ as well as between wild-type and Ank-1^1674/1674 mice were less than .05. P values less than .05 were considered significant.
