Circulatory Immune Cells in Cushing Syndrome: Bystanders or Active Contributors to Atherometabolic Injury? A Study of Adhesion and Activation of Cell Surface Markers

Figure 1

Flow cytometry analysis of activation and adhesion cell marker on monocytes in peripheral blood. Monocytes were gated based on morphological characteristics using their forward (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) properties. CD14⁺⁺CD16⁻, CD14⁺⁺CD16⁺, and CD14⁺CD16⁺⁺ populations were determined and thereafter the % CD11b in each of these populations as well as % of total CD14⁺ and CD14⁺CD11b⁺.
