Flow cytometric analysis of monocytes was performed as previously described (11 (link)). To this end, cells were stained with the following monoclonal antibodies (BioLegend, Uithoorn, The Netherlands) in PBS supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 0.01% NaN3: anti-human CD14-PE/Cy7 (clone: HCD14), anti-human CD16-APC/Cy7 (clone: 3G8), anti-human CD163-PE (clone GHI/61), anti-human CD192 (CCR2)-PerCP/Cy5.5 (clone: K036C2), and anti-human CX3CR1-FITC (clone: 2A9-1). Data were acquired on a FACS Canto II device (BD Bioscience) and analyzed using FlowJo® software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR).
