A novel approach for the generation of human dendritic cells from blood monocytes in the absence of exogenous factors

Human dendritic cells (DCs) for research and clinical applications are typically derived from purified blood monocytes that are cultured in a cocktail of cytokines for a week or more. Because it has been suggested that these cytokine-derived DCs may be deficient in some important immunological funct...
