Phenotype changes and impaired function of dendritic cell subsets in patients with sepsis: a prospective observational analysis

Table 2 Monocyte and dendritic cell subsets

Monocyte or dendritic cell subset	Surface marker expression	Properties
Classical monocytes	CD14^brightCD16^negative	Majority of circulating monocytes [27–29]⁹
Inflammatory monocytes	CD14^brightCD16^positive	Produce high level of proinflammatory cytokines, increased in sepsis [27–29]
Dendritic cell-like monocytes	CD14^dimCD16^positive	Morphological and functional similarities to dendritic cells [42, 43]
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells	lin1 ^-CD123⁺HLA-DR⁺	Produce high level of IFNα in response to viruses [31–35]
Myeloid dendritic cells	lin1 ^-CD33⁺HLA-DR⁺	Potent antigen-presenting cells [31–35]
