Abstract excerpt
Human Langerhans cells (LCs) are of hematopoietic origin, but cytokine regulation of their development is not fully understood. Notch ligand Delta-1 is expressed in a proportion of the skin. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) are also secreted in the skin. We report here that Delta-1, in concert with GM-CSF and TGF-beta1, induces the...
