MDS Thermometers. The neutrophil thermometer is based on the neutrophil score system type 1, i.e., the number of cell surface markers abnormally low expressed in PB neutrophils, among 8 parameters considered (FSC, SSC, CD10, CD11b, CD11c, CD13, CD16 and CD45). The monocyte thermometer is based on the monocyte scoring system type 1, i.e., increased fraction of CD56+ cells (aberrant CD56 expression) and decreased fraction of CD16+ cells (depletion of proinflammatory monocytes) among total PB monocytes. The myeloid thermometer was obtained by the sum of the neutrophil and the monocyte type 1 scores. Abbreviations: FSC, forward scatter; PB, peripheral blood; SSC, side scatter
