The effects of ESCendo and ESCcyst conditioned medium (CM) on freshly isolated untouched human monocytes. Representative phase contrast images (a) of the CM-treated monocytes after 7 days of culture at 20x magnification. The percentage of macrophages expressing CD14 and CD163 and the level of expression in these positive macrophages are greater for ESCcyst () (b). The percentage of macrophages expressing CD206 and the level of expression in these positive macrophages are not different between ESCendo and ESCcyst (b). Seven independent experiments ( biological replicates) were carried out in duplicates. Mean ± SD. Scale bars represent 50 μm at 20x magnification.
