It is now possible to grow DC-like cells in culture17-21 and extensive cell membrane
processes that are acquired late the first monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) 22, 23 that react …

Dendritic cells (DCs) play important roles in orchestrating host immunity against invading
pathogens, representing one of the first responders to infection by mucosal invaders. From …

The monoclonal antibody (mAb) ED1 is being used widely as a marker for rat macrophages.
The distribution of the recognized antigen in tissues and isolated cells strongly supports this …

Since either macrophages (Mϕ) or dendritic cells (DC) differentiate from monocytes (MO)
depending on culture conditions, we investigated the relationship of the DC and Mϕ …

Monocytes (MO) cultured for≥ 5 days with either macrophage-CSF (M-CSF) or granulocyte
macrophage (GM)-CSF and IL-4 differentiated without concomitant proliferation into CD14+ …

To investigate the differentiation and activation of monocytes, the combined effects of 1, 25‐
dihydroxyvitamin D3 (D3) and IL‐4 on human blood monocytes were examined with respect …

The efficiency of HIV infection is greatly enhanced when the virus is delivered at conjugates
between CD4+ T cells and virus-bearing antigen-presenting cells such as macrophages or …

Dendritic antigen-presenting cells are considered to be the most effective stimulators of T
cell immunity. The use of dendritic cells has been proposed to generate therapeutic T cell …

Although dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages share a bone marrow origin, these cells
were long assumed to differentiate via discrete pathways. DCs have now been clearly …

Adoptive transfer of host defense cells may be able to correct an otherwise defective
generation of competent immune cells in patients with cancer. Ex vivo-grown cytotoxic …
