Figure 1From: Monocytes with angiogenic potential are selectively induced by liver resection and accumulate near the site of liver regenerationPerioperative changes in circulating monocyte populations. Monocyte subsets were determined by flow cytometry in blood samples retrieved from patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases. The frequency of total CD14++ monocytes (A) was compared to the distribution of classical CD14++CD16- monocytes (B), intermediate CD14++CD16+ monocytes (C), and CD14++TIE2+ TEMs (D) prior to surgery (Pre-OP) and on post-operative days 1 (POD 1) and 3 (POD 3).Back to article page
