isotype controls and FMO for CD14 and CD16; two intermediate (IM) populations were<br />

evaluated separately as CD14 + CD16 + and CD14 + CD16 ++ . In these monocyte populations,<br />

intensity of CD11c expression was analysed as the median intensity of fluorescence<br />

(MFI).<br />

ERA patients had lower proportions of intermediate monocyte subsets (IM-CD16 + p=0.02<br />

and IM-CD16 ++ p=0.15) and more classical monocytes (p=0.009) compared to OA. The<br />

presence of thyroiditis (n=3) was associated with higher proportion of non-classical and<br />

intermediate monocytes (p=0.01 and p=0.04).<br />

Majority of monocytes expressed CD11c (median 98.2%). NC monocytes had highest<br />

expression of CD11c (MFI 558.9 ± 117) compared to CM (MFI 331.7 ± 93.13; p
