BACKGROUND: In peripheral blood, myeloid markers identify a heterogeneous mixture of cells in transit from the bone marrow to peripheral tissues. Similarly, HLA-class II DR expression usually identifies mononuclear cells with the potential for developing antigen-presenting activity. We gathered putative antigen presenting cells bearing myeloid markers (My-APC) to study their composition by cell surface phenotype....
