Monocytes are a type of immune cell never reported to play a role in T cell stimulation," explains Elewaut. For the longest ...

Cytokines activate and recruit immune cells to the site of infection ... induce maturation and cytokine production in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). MoDC were stimulated with ...

In this application note, explore how scientists can couple a serum-free medium with a xeno-free serum replacement to effectively culture functional monocyte-derived dendritic cells and macrophages.

Monocytes, along with other kinds of white blood cells, help the body fight disease and infection. They can become either macrophage cells or dendritic cells, two types of white blood cells.

But new research at Rockefeller University has shown scientists a way to study "authentic" dendritic cells from mouse monocytes, which are abundant in the blood, a much more accessible source in ...
