Table 1. SMN protein was found in various cell types in whole blood.

Platelets, red blood cells, PBMCs and reticulocytes were separated by a fractionation procedure.

Cell type % total SMN in whole blood
Platelets 40.5 + 8.3
RBCs + Granulocytes* 45.8 + 7.4
PBMCs 19.4 + 2.6
Reticulocytes 1.9 + 0.6

*RBCs + Granulocyte fraction estimation was defined as the fraction not accounted for by the other cell types.
