Abstract

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.
