TABLE 1.

Surface phenotype, origin, and presumed function of donor and recipient macrophages and monocytes in the heart transplant

Heart
Donor Recipient
Donor CCR2+ macrophage Donor CCR2 macrophage Classical recipient monocyte Nonclassical recipient monocyte
Surface phenotype CD11b+ CD64+ CCR2+ MHC-IIhi CD11b+ CD64+ CCR2 MHC-IIhi or lo CD11b+ Ly6G CD64int Ly6Chi CCR2+ CD11b+ Ly6G NK1.1 SiglecF CD64 Ly6Clo MHCIIlo
Origin Blood monocytes Extraembryonic progenitors Blood monocytes Blood monocytes
Function Orchestrate recipient neutrophil and monocyte recruitment Suppress recipient neutrophil and monocyte recruitment Differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells. Contribute to both rejection and tolerance Unknown. It is thought that nonclassical recipient monocytes do not give rise to tissue macrophages
