Abstract excerpt
The function of dendritic cells (DCs), antigen-presenting cells that can initiate and regulate cellular and humoral responses, is highly influenced by their level of maturation. Immature DCs may be harmful in anti-tumor immunotherapy, because they can induce immunotolerance rather than immunostimulation. In this study, the authors sought to determine the optimal culture conditions for obtaining fully mature DCs....
