The most frequently used one (in clinical hematology analysis) is... granularity. In other words a particular forward scatter x side-scatter population on a flow cytometer. That works so well, it's sufficient for clinical diagnostic purposes. You can certainly trust the scatter properties alone for research purposes.
Thanks for the input, but I should have been more clear in my question. I am looking for markers that differentiate immature neutrophils from mature neutrophils. I am familiar with the normal neutrophil markers, but I don't know which are absent on immature neutrophils.
As for the neutrophils, "young" neutrophils have low expression of CD16 (but you have to be careful - low CD16 expression can be also observed on apoptotic cells).
