Abstract
It has been demonstrated earlier that peripheral blood monocytes can be differentiated into antigen presenting accessory cellse.g.1,2, and also that mouse blood contains precursors of dendritic cells3. In the human system we have recently demonstrated the in-vitro differentiation of a Langerhans cells phenotype from peripheral blood monocytes for the first time, 4 indicating the possibility to study the suggested pathway from monocytes via Langerhans cells (LC) to dendritic cells (DC)5 in-vitro.
