Analysis of CD14- and CD16-characterized monocyte subsets. (A) Representative gating pattern of CD14/CD16 monocyte subset analysis by flow cytometry. (B) Whole blood measurements revealed similar median abundances of classical monocytes and non-classical monocytes in patients with HNSCC (n=25) compared with healthy donors (n=10), but a larger spreading of monocyte subset distributions in patients with cancer. Patients with HNSCC revealed significantly decreased percentages of IM. **P<0.01. CM, classical monocytes; NCM, non-classical monocytes; IM, intermediate monocytes; HD, healthy donor; HNSCC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
