Abstract
The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was determined by Coulter Counter, and data were used to calculate the intracellular drug concentrations. A total of 574 PBMC samples were collected from 190 patients. The MCV was 282.9 fl (minimum, 207.0; maximum, 354.6), with a standard deviation of 8.8%. Previous reports have often used a fixed value of 400 fl for the MCV, which may result in artificially low estimates of the intracellular concentrations of antivirals.Entities:
