Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) in human blood are the main source of virus-induced interferon (IFN)-alpha. They exhibit a lineage-negative phenotype but all express BDCA-4, which is homologous to the neuronal receptor neuropilin-1. Specific staining with anti-BDCA-4 antibody is used for positive isolation of PDC from blood by magnetic cells sorting. Here, it is demonstrated that these positively selected PDC...
