Prognostic Role of Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Relation to Different Hematologic Indices

Figure 1

Flow cytometric detection of Mo-myeloid derived suppressor cells (Mo-MDSCs). (a) Forward and side scatter histogram was used to define the monocyte population (R1). (b) The expression of CD14 was assessed in monocytes population (R1) and CD14+ cells were then gated. (c) Then, the expression of HLA-DR on CD14+ cells (R2) was detected, to define CD14+HLA-DR- cells (Mo-MDSCs). Mo-MDSCs were expressed as a percentage of CD14+ cells.
