Is anyone aware of studies done measuring the size of hematopoietic
progenitor cells as they differentiate? In other words, how do the
diameters of early cells, perhaps CD34+, HLA-DR-, differ from those of cells
at later stages of differentiation? Forward scatter should give a measure
of cell diameter, but has anyone calibrated this to microns? If this is not
known, would a fairly straightforward microbead study clear the matter up?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Scott
