Platelet P-selectin initiates cross-presentation and dendritic cell differentiation in blood monocytes
11 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) are adept at cross-presentation and initiation of antigen-specific immunity. Clinically, however, DCs produced by in vitro differentiation of monocytes in the presence of exogenous cytokines have been met with limited success. We hypothesized that DCs produced in a physiological manner may be more effective and found that platelets activate a cross-presentation program in peripheral blood...
