Abstract excerpt
The present study describes the optimization of an in vitro culture method for generating large amounts of dendritic cells (DC) in serum-free conditions from leukapheresis containing a mixed population of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) which are cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-13. Initial comparisons between the generation of DC from bulk and monocyte-enriched leukapheresis products showed...
