Characterization of G-MDSCs in patients within 90 days. (A) Wright-Giemsa stain cytospin preparations reveal the morphological characteristics of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) across various time points. (B) Flow cytometry analysis was performed to determine the apoptosis ratio of G-MDSCs cultured in vitro at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h (n=3). Bars indicate the mean value of replicates with error bars indicating the standard error of the mean. (C) The proportion of G-MDSCs in patients was determined, after purification from fresh blood on a density gradient using Ficoll-Paque. (D) Leukocytes were isolated from whole blood using Polymorphprep, which separates the leukocytes into upper and lower layers based on density differences. LDN, low-density neutrophils; HDN, high-density neutrophils; RBC, red blood cells.
