  1. Values represent the Mean ± SEM values from 8 different donors. aThe isolation yield was calculated dividing the number of cells obtained after isolation by the number of cells prior to isolation (total PBMCs) × 100
  2. FSC – forward scatter; SSC – side scatter
  3. Statistical significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, a marginal significance 0.05 < p < 0.1) refers to differences between monocyte isolation using both methods
