Serum iron parameters and tissue nonheme iron stores for fetal liver cell transplant chimeras are reported at 16 weeks after transplantation. Values are presented as the mean ± 1 SD. Statistical significance values (P) are reported for the two-tailed Student t test.
TIBC indicates total iron binding concentration. Total spleen iron = spleen weight × spleen iron.
Conversion factors for SI units are as described for Table 1.
