A Circulating Subpopulation of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells as an Independent Prognostic/Predictive Factor in Untreated Non-Small Lung Cancer Patients

Figure 1

Phenotypic analysis of MDSC subpopulations in NSCLC patients. Representative dot plots, as well as the gating strategy for identification and quantification of MDSCs. Arrows indicate the sequence of gating. The gates for each dot plot and histogram are presented on the top of each box. The positive expression of markers compared to cells without Ab staining. Purple color represents the CD11b⁺CD14⁻ population whereas bright light green represents the CD11b⁺CD14⁺ population.
