Hematological analyses reveal anemia and lymphopenia in scurfy mice . Freshly drawn blood of scurfy (Sc) and wild-type (WT) mice was immediately subjected to hematological analyses after being drawn. Scurfy mice were anemic, showing significantly reduced (a) erythrocytes, (b) hemoglobin and (c) hematocrit in comparison to WT controls. Upon analyzing the white blood cell count, we found elevated total leukocytes (e), but reduced lymphocytes (d), in scurfy blood, whereas thrombocytes did not show significant differences (f). The results are shown as mean ± SD for scurfy mice (n = 13) and WT mice (n = 14) from two separate experiments. P-values are given in the figure.
