I posed this question to a couple of knowledgeable colleagues and received
the following answers:
(1) Let me think about it.
(2)10e7 packed leukocytes = 0.1ml, 10e8 =1ml, 1ml=1g, 10e11 = 1kg, so a
100kg individual (human) = 10e12--10e13 cells.
Reponder #2 wants to know if there is a prize for the correct answer?
