Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are unique antigen-presenting cells that can take up pathogens, pathogens-derived and stress-antigens and stimulate antigen-specific immune response. Here we investigated the immunobiology of fetal DCs and compared their phenotype and activation status against infectious stimuli with those of young and adult baboons. The DCs were obtained from femoral bone-marrow (BMDCs) of fetus (140 and...
