Characterization of MDSCs (CD33+CD11b+HLA−DR−/low) in 72 trauma and surgical ICU patients with severe sepsis/septic shock51. A) After sepsis onset, circulating MDSCs expand early and are persistently elevated by a significant margin over the first 28 days when compared to healthy controls. B & C) The commonly observed high ratio of monocytic/granulocytic MDSCs seen in healthy subjects is reversed in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock.
