Abnormal erythrocyte morphology in Ahsp–/–α-globin*α/αα double-mutant mice.

Wright-Giemsa staining of peripheral blood from mice with genotypes indicated. Note that variations in erythrocyte size and shape are more severe in the compound Ahsp–α-globin mutants (far right panel). Original magnification, ×200.
