Gene expression profiling of human cardiac macrophages sorted from failing human hearts Overall design: Human macropages were sorted from tissue explants obtained from patients with dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy using flow cytometry. Cells were sorted directly into lysis buffer. Sunstes examined included CCR2+ monocytes, CCR2+ macrophages, and CCR2- macrophages.
