Differential percentage of monocyte subsets and TLR4 expression in patients with inflammatory myopathies according to disease activity. a–c Patients with IIM and active disease have a lower percentage of classical monocytes (a) and higher amounts of intermediate monocytes (b). Non-classical monocytes were not different among the study groups (c). d–f All monocyte subsets from patients with IIM have a higher expression of TLR4 regardless of disease activity and prednisone treatment
