Prior material testing, the differentiation of monocytes to M2-like macrophages was confirmed. (A) Macrophage markers CD14, CD68, and CD206 were expressed. (B) The differentiation towards a M2-like phenotype was shown by CD163 positive profile, whereas (C) CD80 allowed distinguishing between M1 and M2. Here, its absence rejected the M1 differentiation. The marker CD197 was expressed by macrophages differentiated from whole-blood-derived monocytes. Histograms exemplarily represent the differentiation cluster of one donor; whereas mean values ± SD represent data of three blood donors. A high compliance between all three donors was found. The light-grey histograms represent the isotype controls. The following abbreviations are used: SD for standard deviation, CD for cluster of differentiation.
