Fig 2. Characterization of liver CD11b⁺Gr1⁺ cell subsets.

(A) Representative histograms of the phenotypic profiles of liver CD11b⁺Gr1^high, SSC^highCD11b⁺Gr1^dim, and SSC^lowCD11b⁺Gr1^dim cells. Closed histograms represent background control staining; open histograms represent staining by indicated monoclonal antibody (mAb). The percentage of positive cells is indicated. (B) Morphology of purified liver CD11b⁺Gr1^high, SSC^highCD11b⁺Gr1^dim, and SSC^lowCD11b⁺Gr1^dim cells by Wright-Giemsa staining (100× magnification). Scale bars, 20 μm. SSC, light side scatter. The sizes of SSC^highCD11b⁺Gr1^dim and SSC^lowCD11b⁺Gr1^dim cells are shown in the right panel. *P < 0.05
