Abstract excerpt
Epithelia-associated dendritic cells (DC) including Langerhans cells in the skin (LC) are precursors of lymph node located interdigitating DC (iDC). CD1a+ LC are known to be derived from CD34+ haemopoietic progenitor cells (HPC); however, cells of an intermediate differentiation state that are CD34- and CD1a- have not been identified. Monitoring the differentiation pathway of HPC in the presence of GM-CSF+IL-4,...
