Abstract excerpt
Professional antigen-presenting cells, dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in controlling tumors. It is known that solid tumor cell products inhibit DC differentiation. Recently a similar effect produced by leukemic cell products has been demonstrated. In this case, leukemic cell products induced the secretion of IL-1β by monocytes undergoing differentiation. The aim of the present work was to...
