Abstract excerpt
This study investigated CD14(+)HLA-DR(-/low) cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 64 patients with bladder carcinoma (BC) and 14 healthy controls. Cell phenotypes were determined and CD14(+)HLA-DR(-/low) cells, CD14(+)HLA-DR(+) cells and PBMCs depleted of CD14(+)HLA-DR(-/low) cells were isolated. Proliferation of stimulated PBMCs and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production after addition of...
