Data were obtained from 3-week-old mice. WBC, white blood cell count (×103/µl); RBC, red blood cell (×104/µl); Hb, hemoglobin (g/dl); HCT, hematocrit (%); MCV, mean corpuscular volume (fl); MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (pg); MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (g/dl); Plt, platelet count (×104/µl). Data are the mean ± SD of four wild-type, four CALM+/−, and five CALM−/− mice. Statistical analysis was carried out using the unpaired t-test. **P<0.01, *P<0.05.
