Proportional changes of CD14+CD163+ subpopulation as compared to the whole population of peripheral blood monocytes. The absolute numbers of peripheral blood monocytes and their CD14+CD163 subpopulation were monitored during the first year following kidney allograft transplantation (n = 71). The early massive upregulation of CD14+CD163+ subpopulation is in a contrast with only moderate changes observed in whole population of peripheral blood monocytes (absolute numbers of monocyte subpopulations are calculated from the total number of leukocytes and are expressed as number of cells *10⁶/l).
