Wounding and biomaterial implantation induces acute changes in circulating monocytes. (a) White blood cells were gated on CD11b+SSClo expression and categorized as Ly6Chi, Ly6Cint, and Ly6Clo monocytes based on Ly6C expression. Ly6G+, dead white blood cells were excluded from analysis. (b) CD11b+SSClo monocytes and Ly6Chi, Ly6Cint, and Ly6Clo monocytes per milliliter of blood 1 and 3 days post-injury. *p < 0.05 relative to Day 0 blood, n = 5 animals per group. (c) Frequency of CD11b+SSClo monocytes and Ly6Chi, Ly6Cint, and Ly6Clo monocytes within bone marrow 3 days post-injury. *p < 0.05, n = 4–10 animals per group. Data presented as mean ± S.E.M. Statistical analyses performed using either two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons or two-tailed t-tests.
