The surface expression of ACE2/ACE2 on circulating granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes in pregnant women. (A) The relative expression of ACE2 mRNA on granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes in maternal peripheral blood. There were no differences between groups (n = 4/group) as tested by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Data are presented as mean +/-SEM. (B) Peripheral human blood cells were stained with anti-human ACE2 and CD45 antibodies. The percentage of ACE2+ cells was calculated according to the gating of viable CD45+ granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes. Statistical analyses were performed by R software (3.4.3). Multiple comparisons were conducted by Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Wilcoxon test to examine the statistical difference between two groups. n = 6/group. **, p < 0.005.
