An automated analyzer was used for complete blood count (CBC) of murine blood samples. Experimental values are compared to normal murine control values established for the hematology analyzer. Ave, average; SD, standard deviation; BM, bone marrow.

^*Two animals had levels of platelets below the normal range.
