Platelet-activating-factor-induced augmentation of production of eosinophil-lineage cells in hematopoietic precursor cells obtained from human umbilical cord blood.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We have previously shown that human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) may participate in immune system-mediated hypercoagulable state through enhanced tissue factor (TF) expression and that the complement system may be involved in this process. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to explore the role...
