Phenotypic aspects of polyp-derived cells. (a) Gate strategies for selection of the mononuclear fraction of polyp-derived cells; (b) NK cells (NK1.1+); (c) CD4 and CD4+CD69+ T cells; (d) CD4+CD25+ T cells; (e) CD8 and CD8+CD69+ T cells; (f) CD11c+ and CD11c+CD40+ dendritic cells; (g) CD14+ and CD14+CD40+ monocytes and (h) B cells (CD19+). Several types of activated and nonactivated immune cells were observed within the polyp parenchyma.
