Predominance of Th2-promoting dendritic cells in early human pregnancy decidua
15 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells required for the priming and activation of T cells and promote the differentiation of naïve CD4+ T cells toward the T helper cell type 1 (Th1) or Th2 phenotype. Here, we describe the characterization of CD45+CD3-CD14-CD16-CD19-CD20-CD56-HLA-DRbright DCs from early human pregnancy decidua by flow cytometry. The percentage of DCs to mononuclear cells...
