Recombinant Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) expressing mouse IL-18 augments Th1 immunity and macrophage cytotoxicity.

abstract：:The aim of the present study was to elucidate the impact of liver transplantation (LTX) on myeloid dendritic cell (MDC) homeostasis. We observed a threefold reduction of circulating CD1c(+) MDC immediately after LTX (n = 16; P < 0.01), and normalization between 3 and 12 months after LTX. This decline was not due to re...
