Abstract excerpt
The chitotriosidase (CHIT-1) is a glycosyl hydrolase (GH), which has been found highly expressed in activated macrophages and in different monocyte-derived cell lines such as Kupffer cells and osteoclasts, as well is differently produced in diverse stages of macrophage polarization (M1 and M2). Recent finding suggests that CHIT-1 plays a crucial role in innate and acquired immunity. Dendritic cells (DCs) are a...
