Fig. 5From: A pilot study on the usefulness of peripheral blood flow cytometry for the diagnosis of lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes: the “MDS thermometer”Bivariate CD16/CD14 and CD56/CD14 dot plots illustrating the depletion of non-classical (intermediate CD14+highCD16+ plus proinflammatory CD14+lowCD16+) monocytes (upper row) and the aberrant CD56 expression in the PB classical CD14+highCD16− monocytes (lower row) from two patients with LR-MDS, as compared to a normal individual (control). Light blue dots, classical CD14+highCD16− monocytes; dark blue dots, non-classical (intermediate CD14+highCD16+ plus proinflammatory CD14+lowCD16+) monocytes; light gray dots, lymphocytes and eosinophils; dark gray dots, neutrophils. Abbreviations: FSC, forward scatter; LR-MDS, lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes; PB, peripheral blood; SSC, side scatterBack to article page
