Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DC) play an important role in the induction of immune responses. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from chronic inflammation, leading to a secondary, uremic immunodeficiency associated with alterations in monocyte subpopulations with increased proinflammatory capacities. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine, under isolated conditions, whether alterations...
