See reference 23. Dead cells were excluded from the analysis. Positive markers are in boldface type. CD45 was not included for cells isolated from bone marrow (progenitors) or from peritoneal wash specimens (monocytes and macrophages), as virtually all cells isolated from these sites are of hematopoietic origin. Abbreviations: PMNs, polymorphonuclear cells (neutrophils); DCs, dendritic cells; Autofluor, autofluorescence.
