Figure 2

Flow Cytometry analysis of phenotypic characteristics of human peritoneal monocyte/macrophages compared to blood monocytes. Percentages of cells expressing several membrane markers were analyzed by FACS. A comparative analysis between blood monocytes and peritoneal monocyte/macrophages is displayed. Results on different frequencies of expression were grouped according to the similarity of expressing cells in blood and peritoneum (A), or to a high difference (B) between locations. Histograms represent the percentage of positive cells for every membrane marker indicated as mean ± SEM percentage of positive cells referred to the totality (100%) of monocyte/macrophage cells. White bars represent positive blood monocytes and grey bars positive peritoneal monocyte/macrophages. Mann-Whitney U test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, between locations. Representative FACS mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) histograms of blood monocytes and peritoneal monocyte/macrophages for every membrane marker analyzed in the different cells subpopulations are displayed (C).
