Figure 2: Novel flow-cytometric assay allows identification of maturation-stage specific red cell progenitors directly in tissue. Spleen cells were labeled with antibodies against the surface markers Ter119 and CD71. Cells sorted by flow-cytometry from each of the marked regions I to IV are seen to contain red cell progenitors of increasing maturation.
