Furthermore, of all the monocyte subpopulations analyzed, only the percentage of intermediate monocytes with intracellular expression of IL-10 was significantly higher in the MLR-high group compared to the MLR-low CLL group (median, IQR; 9.55, 10.82–6.98 vs. 7.13, 8.15–4.29; p=0.0103) (Figure 7(d)). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
