Cells prepared from the spleens of the wild-type (Nor-1 and Nor-2) and the mFtz-F1 gene–disrupted mice (KO-1 and KO-2) were used for detection of cell surface markers, CD3, CD4, CD8, Mac-1, and B220, as described in Materials and Methods. Numbers of the nucleated cells and erythrocytes were counted under the microscope.
