| Method |
(Abstract:) "Megakaryocytes were immunohistochemically stained, quantified using an eyepiece reticle, and measured using an image analysis system with incorporated electronic micrometer." |
| Comments |
"The megakaryocyte diameter was greater in adults than in neonates (19.4±3.0µm versus 15.3±1.7µm, p<0.0001)...there were no significant
differences in mean megakaryocyte diameter between...thrombocytopenic and nonthrombocytopenic adults (19.5±2.7 versus 19.4±3.0µm, respectively)." |
