Abstract excerpt
Monocytes are important cellular effectors of innate immune defense. Human monocytes are heterogeneous and can be classified into three distinct subsets based on CD14 and CD16 expression. The expansion of intermediate CD14+CD16+ monocytes has been reported in chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the mechanism underlying induction of CD16 and its role in monocytes remains...
