We performed flow cytometric analysis using a FACSAria III instrument (BD Biosciences) and analyzed the data using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc, Ashland, OR). We used antibodies that had specificity to the following proteins: F4/80 (BM8; BioLegend), Ly6G (1A‐8‐Ly6g; BioLegend), CD11b (M1/70; BioLegend), galectin‐3 (M3/38; BioLegend), MERTK (Mer; 2B10C42; BioLegend), CD206 (15‐2; BioLegend), ERK1/2 Phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) (6B8B69; BioLegend) and STAT3 Phospho (Tyr705) (13A3‐1; BioLegend). We analyzed galectin‐3 (M3/38; BioLegend) using a True‐Nuclear Transcription Factor Buffer Set (BioLegend), ERK1/2 Phospho (Thr202/Tyr204) (6B8B69; BioLegend) and STAT3 Phospho (Tyr705) (13A3‐1; BioLegend) using ice‐cold 90% methanol after fixation.
