CD41+ clusters were formed adjacent to the podoplanin+ stromal cells in the BM CD41+ clusters which represent megakaryocytes were observed, lying close to the podoplanin+ stromal cells lining vasculature in the bone marrow. However, this phenomenon is not present with CLEC-2 knockout mice. The right inlet shows the quantitative distribution of megakaryocytes within 10 μm of vasculature in wild-type mice vs. CLEC-2 knockout
