Homozygous animals are anemic and deficient in mast cells. The anemia and mast cell deficiency of these animals is attributed to a defect of precursors of erythrocytes and mast cells. The magnitude of the anemia decreases and that of the mast cell deficiency increases in adult Ws/Ws rats. These rats, similar to comparable mouse strains, have been used in the studies of the differentiation
