Mass Cytometry Analysis Reveals Four Phenotypically Basophilic Granulocyte Subpopulations Identified by Traditional CD45+HLA-DR−CD123+ Gating
(A) Gating strategy plots for total phenotypically basophilic granulocytes (PBGs, CD45+HLA-DR-CD123+), eosinophils (CD45+HLA-DR−CD123−CD14−CD66b+CD193+Siglec8+), and neutrophils (CD45+HLA-DR-CD123−CD14−CD66b+CD16+) using classic lineage markers.
(B) Implementation of Leiden clustering algorithm using the following markers: CD123, CD16, FcεRI, CD244, CD53, CD305, and CD193.
(C) Four donors' mean median expression (arcsinh with cofactor 5 transformation) across clusters identified by the Leiden algorithm, hierarchically clustered by protein expression and by Leiden clusters.
(D) Normalized single cell expression across of the following proteins: CD123, CD16, FcεRI, and CD244.
(E) CD16, FcεRI, and CD244 used to manually draw gates in biaxial plots to distinguish the four PBG subpopulations.
(F) The four-gated PBG subpopulations superimposed on the original tSNE plot coordinates. See also Figures S1 and S2.
