Abstract excerpt
We examined whether priming monocytes (MO) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) influenced their further differentiation into either macrophages (Mphi) or dendritic cells (DC). LPS-primed MO differentiated into Mphi when cultured further with Mphi colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) but, if cultured then with granulocyte/Mphi (GM)-CSF and IL-4 (interleukin-4), only about 30% of the cells differentiated into CD1a+ CD14- DC...
