Hematological parameters in blood from Kel-KO, Xk-KO and wild-type mice

	WT	Kel-KO	Xk-KO	Kel/Xk-KO
MCV, fL	46.6±0.3	48.3±0.1*	46.4±0.6	49.8±0.7*
CHCM, g/dL	28.9±0.3	26.8±0.6*	29.2±0.2*	27.7±0.1*
Reticulocytes, %	2.71±0.2	3.15±0.1*	2.9±0.5	3.6±0.2*
RDW, %	13.0±0.4	13.4±0.2	13.0±0.5	12.8±0.8
HDW, g/dL	1.99±0.1	2.8±0.1*	2.08±0.0	1.82±0.0

Determination of hematological parameters was performed using ADVIA (Bayer, NJ) with mouse software.

MCV, mean cellular volume; CHCM, corpuscular hemoglobin concentration mean; RDW, red cell distribution width; HDW, hemoglobin distribution width. WT, wild-type n=10; Kel-KO, Kel knockout n=10; Xk-KO, Xk knockout n=10; Kel/Xk-KO, double knockout n=5,

^*p<0.03 compared to WT, ANOVA analysis. Values represent the mean±SD.
