Abstract excerpt
The maturation state of (monocyte-derived) dendritic cells (DCs) determines the type of T-cell response. Currently, several maturation cocktails are used in clinical trials, most commonly a cocktail of TNF-alpha, PGE2, IL-1beta, and IL-6. The authors studied DC phenotype and functional ability to stimulate TH1 responses after maturation with different cocktails employing clinically approved agents. DCs were...
