Palisading cells of rheumatoid nodules: comparison with synovial intimal cells.
OBJECTIVES The palisading cells of rheumatoid nodules share certain features with synovial intimal cells. The similarities between the two cell populations have been reassessed using new cytochemical markers. METHODS Cell populations in cryostat sections of non-inflamed, rheumatoid and osteoarthritic synovial tissues, and rheumatoid nodules were assessed for the presence of CD68, prolyl hydro...
متن کاملGeneration 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 کاملPhenotypic and Functional Comparison between Flask Adherent and Magnetic Activated Cell Sorted Monocytes Derived Dendritic Cells
Background: Generation of an effective dendritic cell (DC) based cancer vaccine depends on appropriate differentiation of monocytes in vitro. Objective: To compare the effects of monocyte separation methods, flask adherence (Flask-DC) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS-DC), on phenotypic and functional characteristics of resultant DCs. Methods: DCs from healthy volunteers were generated ...
متن کاملIn Vivo Effects of Calcitriol on Phenotypic and Functional Properties of Dendritic Cells
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the initiation and expansion of T cell mediated immune responses with potential immunotherapy application. The compounds which have the ability to induce immunomodulatory effects on DCs may be employed for the treatment of immunopathologic conditions such as autoimmune diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the in v...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterization of equine synovial fluid-derived chondroprogenitor cells
Background: Progenitor cells exist in most tissues and body fluids. Synovial fluid chondroprogenitor cells have been described in several species; however, the specific phenotypic characteristics of these cells have not been defined. This study addressed the impacts of joint location and donor age variation on synovial fluid chondroprogenitor numbers, and determined whether synovial fluid chond...
