abstract：:In whole blood from splenectomized subjects (n = 8) in a steady state an increased number of reticulocytes was observed (14.0 +/- 7.8% versus 3.6 +/- 2.4% controls: p less than 0.05). Cell fractionation on density showed that reticulocytes, as in normals, are more or less confined to the least dense fraction; cell fra...
