The cell body space occupied by the nucleus decreased during the cell differentiation of the granulocytic cell lineage in CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia) patients. In contrary, in patients suffering from CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), the cell body space occupied by the nucleus during the cell differentiation of the lymphocytic lineage did not decrease despite the reduction of the cell size. Thus, the cell body space occupied by the cell nucleus during the differentiation was characteristic for each of these cell lineages.
