Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 The backgating of CD41a shown in the original article [2]. Most platelets are located in the area marked with an arrow, forming an arch pattern. CD41a expression was mainly detected in the blast population, not in the platelet area.

• 

  Fig. 2 The CD61-positive blasts represent approximately 3% of all blasts on the biopsy (Immunohistochemical stains CD61, ×1,000).
