<i>Cd84⁻</i>^/<i>−</i> mice display normal hematologic parameters and unaltered levels of platelet surface glycoproteins.

(A) White blood cell (WBC) count, red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (HGB) and hematocrit (HCT) were determined with a hematologic analyzer (Sysmex) (n = 5, two independent experiments, n.s. = not significant). (B) Expression of glycoproteins on the platelet surface was determined by flow cytometry. Diluted whole blood from the indicated mice was incubated with FITC-labeled antibodies at saturating conditions for 15 minutes at RT, and platelets were analyzed directly. Data are expressed as mean fluorescence intensity ± SD (n = 4) and are representative of 3 individual experiments. Cd84−/− mice display normal hematologic parameters and unaltered levels of platelet surface glycoproteins.
