Generation of Mature Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells in the Presence of Heparin and Monocyte Conditioned Medium: Phenotypic and Functional Comparison
Background: Dendritic cells (DC) induce tumor or pathogen-specific T cell responses in humans. Several laboratories have developed culture systems, including maturation factors for human DC from peripheral blood monocytes. We comprehensively compared standard maturation stimulus, an autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (MCM), with heparin for their ability to promote uniformly mature DC that ...
متن کاملMonocyte Expression of Toll-like Receptor-4 in Patients with Stable Angina Undergoing Percutanoeus Coronary Intervention
Background: Toll like receptors (TLRs) are well recognized players in inflammatory conditions. Among them TLR-4 is involved in chronic inflammatory processes such as formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Objective: The present study was aimed to examine the effects of percutanoeus coronary intervention (PCI) as a revascularization method on monocyte expression of hTLR-4 and on the serum levels ...
متن کاملCD14CD16 Monocyte Subset Levels in Heart Failure Patients
Our aim was to define the distribution of monocyte subsets in a cohort of congestive heart failure (CHF) patients, to verify whether increased severity of CHF is linked to the expansion of specific monocyte subsets, and finally to investigate the relationship between monocyte subset relative frequencies, laboratory parameters of inflammation, and monocyte ACE expression. Thirty consecutive CHF ...
متن کاملIgA-dependent, monocyte-mediated, antibacterial activity
IgA purified from the sera of patients convalescing from disseminated group C meningococcal disease induced human monocyte-mediated anti-meningococcal activity in vitro in the absence of complement. Both IgA- and IgG-dependent activity were directed against the group C meningococcal polysaccharide (Csss) capsule. The amount of IgA that was effective bound less than 1 ng of Csss. Antibacterial a...
متن کاملTargeting a monocyte subset to reduce inflammation.
In this technical tour-de-force, Leuschner et al1 exploited the findings that murine macrophages that consist of two defined subsets differing in Ly6 antigen expression also differ in their expression of a major chemokine receptor, CCR2, responsible for the recruitment of circulating LY6C hi CCR2 monocytes to peripheral sites of inflammation. They utilized lipid nanoparticles containing siRNA a...
