Correction of hematologic values in treated β-thalassemic mice.

(A) Serum Epo concentration, (B) Hct, (C) Hb concentration, and (D) the proportion of reticulocytes were measured monthly in treated β-thalassemic mice (continuous lines), 3 untreated β-thalassemic controls (dotted lines), and 3 heterozygous controls (dashed lines). Values correspond to individually treated mice indicated by numbers or are the mean ± SEM (standard error of the mean) for controls.
