Abstract excerpt
Thymic dendritic cells (DC) have been proposed to play a critical role in the generation of immunocompetent T lymphocytes. Since IL-1 is widely considered to be an important second signal in T cell stimulation, we have studied the ability of isolated human thymic DC to produce IL-1. Using the EL4/CTLL conversion assay standardized with recombinant IL-1 beta (rIL-1 beta), we demonstrate that upon LPS-stimulation...
