Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB) produce lower amounts of IFN-α upon TLR stimulation compared with adult counterparts. This difference may play a role in the low graft-versus-host disease rate after UCB transplantation and in the impaired immune response of the neonate to pathogens. Comparing UCB PDC to their adults counterparts, we found that they exhibited a mature...
