Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells that play a central role in the initiation of immune responses. Because human lung DCs have been incompletely characterized, we enumerated and phenotyped mononuclear cell populations from excess lung tissue obtained at surgery. Myeloid DCs (MDCs) were identified as CD1c(+)CD11c(+)CD14(-)HLA-DR(+) cells and comprised approximately 2% of low...
