Figure Lengend Snippet: A , Box plots showing CD5L, IL-10, PD-L1, IFN-ψ, and GAS6 protein levels in supernatants from human peripheral blood leukocyte cultures (n = 14) stimulated with LPS and ConA (5 μg/mL and 0.625 μg/m, respectively) for 48 h, with the addition of a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi, 50 μg/ml) during the final 24 h. B , Heat maps displaying Spearman correlation (π) values between CD5L and IL-10 levels in supernatants, CD16 expression intensity measured by flow cytometry, IFN-γ production, the relative size of the non-classical monocyte (NCM) subset, and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD16 and CD11b. Statistical significance is indicated as * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. C, Box plots illustrating changes in classical (CM; CD14⁺CD16⁻), intermediate (IM; CD14⁺CD16⁺), and non-classical (NCM; CD14 low CD16⁺) monocyte subsets in stimulated human leukocyte cultures (n = 14), treated as described in panel ( A ). D, Representative histograms of Pacific Blue-CD11b expression in human CD11b⁺CD14⁺CD4⁻ blood leukocytes stimulated as indicated and analyzed by flow cytometry. Box plots summarize CD11b mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) across conditions. P values were calculated using a paired Wilcoxon test.
Article Snippet: CD5L serum levels were quantified using the Mouse CD5L ELISA Pair Set (Sino Biological, SEK50020), according to the manufacturers’ instructions.
