Fig. 2From: Altered monocyte differentiation and macrophage polarization patterns in patients with breast cancerComparison of M1-, M2a-, M2b-, and M2c-like macrophages in peripheral blood PM-2 K+CD14+ cells in patients with breast cancer and healthy controls. (a) The percentages of M1-like macrophages in the population of PM-2 K+CD14+ cells were significantly lower in patients with breast cancer than in healthy controls. The percentages of (b) M2a-, (c) M2b-, and (d) M2c-like macrophages in the population of PM-2 K+CD14+ cells were significantly higher in patients with breast cancer than in healthy controls. ***p < 0.001Back to article page
