Percentage and count of ARG1-expressing cells in different immunophenotypes of circulating-MDSCs. (a) Flow cytometry chart of ARG1-expressing MDSCs in the peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients (GC-PB). Cells were first gated based on the expression of HLA-DR. Subsequently, the HLADR -/low population were gated based on the co-expression of ARG1 and CD11b, ARG1 and CD14, ARG1 and CD15, ARG1 and CD33; the CD33+ARG1+ cells were gated based on the expression of CD14 and CD15. An isotype control was also run (Supplementary Fig. 1). (b) Flow cytometry chat of ARG1-expressing cells in the peripheral blood of healthy donors (HD-PB). Flow cytometry showing different MDSC phenotypes in GC-PB or HD-PB. An isotype control was also run (Supplementary Fig. 1). (c) Gated on HLA-DR-/low cells, the percentage and count of ARG1-expressing cells in CD33+ or CD14+ or CD15+ or CD11b+ MDSC subsets of peripheral blood. (d) Gated on HLA-DR-CD33+MDSCs, the percentage and count of ARG1-expressing cells in CD14+CD15- or CD14+CD15+ or CD14-CD15+ or CD14-CD15- MDSC subsets of peripheral blood. Values were mean ± SEM (n = 20), **p < 0.01. Paired /Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test or unpaired/Mann–Whitney tests. Abbreviations: P11, population11 (CaliBRITE fluorescent microsphere).
