Absence of Nonclassical Monocytes in Hemolytic Patients: Free Hb and NO-Mediated Mechanism

Figure 2

Dynamic changes in nonclassical monocytes after incubation with Hb-activated platelets in vitro. Monocytes from healthy individuals were incubated with Hb-activated platelets (0-48 h). After incubation with Hb-activated platelets, cells were harvested and processed for surface staining. (a) FACS plots showing the percentage of monocytes (CD11c+CD14+) at different time points and (b) percentage of nonclassical (red gated), intermediate (blue), and classical (green) monocyte subsets at 0, 2, 12, 24, and 48 h. (c) A bar diagram showing the percentage of nonclassical and classical monocyte subsets at different time points. Data are the from three different experiments. The statistical significance was calculated using a paired -test. , , and compared to monocytes at 0 h.
