Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that are used in vaccine approaches to cancer. Classically, mature monocyte-derived DC are generated in vitro in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, and inflammatory cytokines (G4-DC). Recently, it has been described that DC can also be generated in the presence of IL-3 and interferon (IFN)-beta and...
