Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) can be activated by proinflammatory cytokines or upon toll-like receptor (TLR) triggering. These stimuli induce specific patterns of phenotypic modulation and gene expression profiles. We investigated whether TLR triggering represents an indispensable requirement for the induction of T cell responses by human DC generated upon culture of monocytes in the presence of granulocyte macrophage...
