Abstract excerpt
The CD14 surface molecule is predominantly expressed by cells of myeloid origin and regarded as a specific marker for macrophages (M phi). Thus, in human mononuclear cell preparations, CD14 expression is a widely used parameter to distinguish M phi from dendritic cells (DC). Since a murine homologue of CD14 was recently identified, this study investigated expression of CD14 by murine M phi and DC. Flow cytometry...
