Interleukin-2 production by dendritic cells and its immuno-regulatory functions.

abstract：:Monocytes in humans consist of 3 subsets; CD14+CD16- (classical), CD14+CD16+ (intermediate) and CD14dimCD16+ (non-classical), which exhibit distinct and heterogeneous responses to activation. During acute inflammation CD14+CD16- monocytes are significantly elevated and migrate to the sites of injury via the adhesion c...
