Blood cell parameters and hematological analyses in Npc1−/− mice.

Blood (∼20µl) was collected from female Npc1+/− (n = 2, age 63 and 66 days) and Npc1−/− mice (n = 2, age 63 and 66 days) by cheek bleed. Blood cell parameters were analyzed by Hemavet 950. Values represent mean±SEM. Abbreviations are, WBC = White Blood Cells, NE = Neutrophils, LY = Lymphocytes, MO = Monocytes, EO = Eosinophils, BA = Basophils, RBC = Red Blood Cells, Hb = Hemoglobin, HCT = Hematocrit, MCV = Mean Corpuscular Volume, MCH = Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin, MCHC = Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration, RDW = Red Cell Distribution width, PLT = Platelet, and MPV = Mean Platelet Volume. K/µl stands for 1000/µl.
