Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells derived from CD34 bone marrow stem cells. They undergo a series of maturational steps that allow them to stimulate primary T cell responses. Several cytokines are known to contribute to this process. In this study murine DC maturing from bo...
