Analysis of peripheral blood cells in St3gal4-deficient, St3gal6-deficient, and double-deficient mice. (A-B) Blood was collected from the tail vein of 8- to 12-week-old mice. Cell counts were carried out using the Hemavet 850FS multispecies hematology system. Values are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 12). ***P < .001; *P < .05. (C) ECA, RCA, PNA, and SNA lectin binding to circulating platelets (CD41⁺) and RBCs (Ter-119⁺) was assessed by flow cytometry. Mean fluorescence intensities are indicated in each histogram and data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
