Mean cell volume of human blood leucocytes and resident and activated murine macrophages.
The mean cell volume (MCV) of human blood leucocytes and resident and activated murine macrophages was measured with a Coulter counter connected to a 256 channelyzer. The values found for human blood monocytes, granulocytes, and lymphocytes were 421 +/- 24 femtolitre (fl), 334 +/- 32 fl, and 204 +/- 19 fl, respectively. Resident murine peritoneal macrophages were significantly smaller than rIFN-gamma-activated and BCG/PPD-activated peritoneal macrophages and resident alveolar macrophages.
