Fig. 1

Granulocyte and monocyte subpopulations. Percentage of granulocyte (squares) and monocyte subpopulation (dots) is shown for term neonates (white) and healthy young adults (black). Apart from total granulocytes (in squares) (a), granulocyte subpopulations were defined via the expression of CD16 and CD62L in three subpopulations: classical granulocytes (CD16⁺CD62L⁺) (b); immunosuppressive granulocytes (CD16⁺CD62L⁻) (c); inflammatory granulocytes (CD16^dimCD62L⁺) (d). Total monocytes are shown in e. In addition monocytes (dots) were also distinguished in three subpopulations: anti-inflammatory (CD14⁺CD16⁺) (f), the classical monocytes (CD14⁺CD16⁻) (g); and proinflammatory monocytes (CD14^dimCD16⁺) (h).**p < 0.01; ***p < 0.005.
