Expression of CD36 and CD71 CD45^hi/SS^higranulocytes defines 2 different immunophenotypic clusters of patients with MDS.

(A) Mean of IPSS scores in CD36, CD38, and CD71 clusters of CD45^hi/SS^hi granulocytes from patients with MDS. (B) Two-dimensional scattergram with its oblique axes of the fluorescence ratios for each of the markers expressed by CD45^hi/SS^hi granulocytes from patients with MDS according to the 2 most significant factors obtained after principal component factor analysis. The percentage of variance represented by these 2 most significant factors is indicated.
