What is the difference between CD34 and CD34+?? Does this have anything to do with progeny or related to sorting mechanism?

It means that the cell is expressing the antigen (CD34+).
Remember, all antigens (including CD34) are coded for in a cell's genome, but not necessarily expresssed.

As i understand it, CD34+ means that a cell has the cluester of differation 34 which is an adhesion molecule.
CD34 is the molecule, CD34+ is a cell that has the molecule

All it means is that the cell is positive staining for the CD34 protein (usually by flow cytometry)
