Fig 2. Hypoplasia of hematopoietic tissues in Ssbp2−/− mice.
A. Reduced cellularity of BM, spleen and thymus in Ssbp2-null mice. Cells from single-cell suspensions prepared from BM, spleen and thymus from Ssbp2−/− mice and their WT littermates were counted.
B. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were decreased in the absence of Ssbp2. Absolute numbers of peripheral blood lymphocytes and granulocytes are shown.
Data represent mean ± S.D. from 6 age- and gender-matched pairs of WT and null mice. *p<0.05 vs. WT as determined with unpaired two-tailed t-test.
