Circulating classical (CD14++CD16-, also described as CD14brightCD16-, phagocytic) and non-classical (CD14+ CD16+, also described as CD14brightCD16+, inflammatory) MC counts were examined in human disease as indicated. The percentage change of MC subsets and some functional measurements are recorded. We used PMID # to cite individual manuscripts reporting these studies. MC, monocyte; AMI, acute myocardial infarction; CAD, coronary arterial disease; CKD, chronic kidney disease; HLA-DR, human leukocyte antigen DR (MHC-II, major histocompatibility complex class II); TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α; IL-6, interleukin 6; ↑, increase.
