Markers of monocyte/macrophage lineage studied in kidney diseases [10,11,12].

Cell Lineage Markers
Monocytes/macrophages from hematopoietic stem cells [10,11] CD11b+, CSF1R+, Ly-6C+, Ly-6G, CX3CR1+, CCR2+
Resident macrophages in kidney [10,11]
(Erythro-myeloid progenitors from yolk sac)
CD45+, CD 11b(low), F4/80 (high), Ly-6C(low)
Dendritic cells—CD-103-positive subtype [10,11] CD11c+, MHC-II+, CD 103+, CD11b(low), CX3CR1-, SIRPα-
Dendritic cells—CD-11b-positive subtype [10,11] CD11b+, CD103, CX3CR1+, SIRPα+,
Classical monocytes in peripheral blood (Ly6C+ MHCII) [10,11] CD43(low), CCR2+, CX3CR1(low), CD62L+, TREML4+/−,
MHCII+/−
Non-classical patrolling monocytes (LY6C MHC II low/) [10,11] CD43(high), CCR2, CX3CR1(high), CD62L, TREML4+,
MHC II+/−
M2a macrophages [12] CD209
M2b macrophages [12] CD86
M2c macrophages [12] CD163

All the above-mentioned immune markers are initially standardized in animal models and subsequently validated in human research and diagnostic applications.
