Differential Ly6C Expression after Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Identifies Unique Macrophage Populations

Macrophages are a heterogeneous cell type implicated in injury, repair, and fibrosis after AKI, but the macrophage population associated with each phase is unclear.results of this study in a renal ischemia-reperfusion injury model allow phenotype and function to be assigned to CD11b+/Ly6C+ monocyte/macrophage populations in the pathophysiology of disease after AKI.
