Figure 7. CCR2 expression on melanoma patient MDSC.
Healthy donor(HD) or stage III and IV melanoma patient(Pt) PBMC were evaluated by flow cytometry for the quantity of lineage negative (CD3, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD56), CD14+, HLA-DR low/neg cells (A). The expression of CCR2 was measured in comparison with isotype control in each subject (n = 3 HD, 3 Pt) (B). PBMC depleted of CCR2 expressing cells were stimulated to proliferate with OKT-3 and IL-2. CFSE dilution of CD8 T cells in the culture is shown in the absence of CCR2+ cells or with CCR2+ cells added back. The average stimulation index is graphed for 3 healthy donor and 3 melanoma patient PBMC (C). Stimulation index = (%proliferated CD8+ T cells in CCR2 depleted PBMC) ÷ (% proliferated CD8+ T cell in CCR2-PBMC with CCR2+ cell added back).
