Alterations in Monocyte CD16 in Association with Diabetes Complications

Figure 2

The effect of diabetes on circulating monocytes. Leukocytes and monocytes were identified by flow cytometry. Shown in control and diabetic subjects are (A) the CD45⁺ leukocyte population and (B) the CD45⁺CD14⁺ monocyte population. (C) Representative forward scatter and side scatter plots from a control and diabetic subject showing CD45⁺CD14⁺ monocytes (red dots). The three subsets of monocytes grouped according to size and granularity are shown in the diabetic sample as (a), (b), and (c). *𝑃<0.05 different between groups.
