Q

What is the pattern of expression of CD45 in myeloid precursors?

A
  • granulocytic precursors express CD45 dimly
  • the intensity of expression increases in the final stages of differentiation
    *based on the SSC and the intensity of CD45 neutrophils which are the brightest for CD45 can be separated from promyelocytes, etc.

Q

At what transition is CD117 expression lost?

A
  • transition from promyelocytes to myelocytes the CD117 expression is lost

Note: CD13 expression is also dim at this stage and then gradually increases
