IFN-beta interferes with the differentiation of dendritic cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells: selective inhibition of CD40-dependent interleukin-12 secretion.

Abstract excerpt

We studied the effects of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) on the differentiation of dendritic cells (DC) obtained by culturing plastic-adherent peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a total of 30 healthy volunteers in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). First, we found that the addition of IFN-beta at the initiation of the culture did not modify...
