Abstract excerpt
When porcine blood monocytes differentiate in vitro into macrophages, their morphology, as well as side scatter and forward scatter measured by flow cytometry, changed in a manner similar to that with human cells. During this differentiation, the initial high expression of CD molecules on porcine monocytes was down-regulated, with one exception--SWC9. Freshly isolated blood monocytes were SWC9-, but after culture...
