Abstract excerpt
The effect of IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta on expression of procoagulant activity (PCA) and of surface-associated tissue factor (TF) by human monocyte-derived macrophages was determined. Monocytes were allowed to mature to macrophages in teflon bags, and were primed either in suspension cultures, or...
