Abstract excerpt
IL-12 is important for Th1 differentiation. Myeloid-derived antigen-presenting cells (APC) such as monocytes, macrophages (Mphi) and dendritic cells (DC) are believed to be major sources of IL-12 in vivo. We have compared IL-12 production of fresh monocytes with Mphi differentiated in vitro using macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) or human plasma, and in vitro generated dendritic cells, since these...
