Abstract

<h4>Background</h4>In human blood, two monocyte populations exist, CD14(++)CD16(-) classical monocytes and CD14(+)CD16(+) proinflammatory monocytes, which account for about 10% of total monocytes, but can expand to promote inflammatory conditions. CD14(+)CD16(+) monocytes produce large amounts of in...
