A total of 30 fresh surgical CRC tumor tissues were digested for characterization of tumor infiltrating macrophages (TIMs). In addition, 12 lamina propria tissues from non-tumor patients were digested for characterization of macrophages in total lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMCs). Subsequently, the cells were stained with anti-CD14, CD169 and CD163 or CD206. The frequency of CD14+CD169+, CD14+CD169+CD163+ and CD14+CD169+CD206+ macrophages in LPMCs and TIMs was determined by flow cytometry. Data are representative charts or expressed as the values of individual subjects. The horizontal lines indicate the median for individual groups.
