Abstract excerpt
We have developed a new culture system whereby human hematopoietic progenitors purified from adult peripheral blood extensively proliferate and gradually differentiate into >95% pure monocytic (Mo) cells. At all developmental stages treatment with interleukin (IL)-4+granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or IL-4+c-Kit-ligand+FLT-3 ligand switched the Mo precursors into dendritic cells (DCs). The...
