PMN-MDSC phenotype and absolute numbers in clinical malaria. PMN-MDSC were identified by 4-color flow cytometry as CD15+CD66b+CD11b+CD14 cells in PBMC samples from 10 controls, 12 UM patients (4 Pf and 8 Pv) and 16 cases of severe Pf malaria. Representative gating strategy from a Pv patient and control is shown in panel A. The absolute number of circulating PMN-MDSC were compared between malaria patients and controls using the Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparison (B). Plots show individual datapoints with median, interquartile-range and range. Bold data points are children < 15 years. PMN-MDSC: polymorphonuclear-type myeloid-derived suppressor cells; UM: uncomplicated malaria; Pf: P. falciparum; Pv: P. vivax
