I'm interested in quantifying the proportion of platelets in mouse peripheral blood by flow cytometry. I looked online but I'm not convinced of what's a good way to do this. I noticed you are doing this type of work, so I wanted to kindly ask if you have a protocol for this that you wouldn't mind sharing?
I have zero experience with platelets but I have a mouse line that is deficient in a gene that happens to be expressed during megakaryocyte development. We don't know if this gene plays any role on this but I want to check if platelet proportions are normal on this mice.
Thank you very much in advance for taking your time to read this message and for your help. Best of luck with you experiments!
Best wishes,
Sergio
