Representative dot plots of ungated (dot plots A to F) and CD117 gated events from a healthy control (left panel) and a patient suffering from indolent SMCD (right panel). Black dots correspond to BMMC. Total number of events in plots A to F is 10,000 (note that no mast cells are present among 10,000 ungated events in dot plots A, C, and E). The events shown in plots G to J correspond to the BMMC present in a total of 600,000 events analyzed. N, neutrophils; M, monocytes; L, lymphocyte; Er, erythroid nucleated cells.
