Leukocytes were stained with the following antibodies: F4/80 (BM8)-PEcy7 (BioLegend), Ly6C (AL-21)-APCCy7, Ly6G (1A-8)-APC, CD11b (M1/70)-BV421, CD206 (19.2)-APC, and CD3 (SK7)-BV421 (BD Biosciences). Total macrophages (F4/80+), monocytes (Ly6C+F4/80), neutrophils (Ly6G+), and lymphocytes (CD3+) were evaluated. Events were acquired in FACSCanto II (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo Software (Tree Star Inc.). Macrophage phenotypes were defined by the expression of F4/80, CD11b, Ly6C, and CD206, as described previously (16 (link), 25 (link)).
