Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 Characterization of markers for ES-phagocytic macrophages. A Gating strategy for evaluating cell surface protein expression on phagocytic versus non-phagocytic macrophages. In-vitro phagocytosis assay was carried out incubating A673 cells (Non- or DOX- or MAG- or D&M-treated) labeled with CMFDA (detected by FITC channel) and M-CSF Mφ. Cells were harvested and stained with APC-CD11b and PE-CD38 antibodies followed by flow cytometry analysis. The viable cells were plotted in FITC (CMFDA) x APC view to visualize cell populations in the in-vitro phagocytosis assay. A gate was drawn to include cells that were FITC positive and APC positive as the phagocytic macrophage population, and another gate was drawn to include cells that were FITC- APC + as the non-phagocytic macrophage population. The FITC + APC + and FITC- APC + cells were then plotted separately in a PE x APC view to visualize expression of CD38 in both cell populations. A quat gate was drawn to visualize APC + PE + as the CD38 + and APC + PE- as the CD38- macrophages. B Comparison of percent of CD14, CD38, CD163, CD206 or CD209 positive and negative cells in the phagocytic and non-phagocytic macrophages incubated with non- or DOX- or MAG- or D&M-treated A673 cells. Macrophages alone (no A673) served as a control. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (Fisher’s Exact test). Shown are results in a representative experiment. The same trend was seen in three independent biological repeats
