Impairment of circulating myeloid dendritic cells in immunosuppressed liver transplant recipients.

abstract：:We describe a system for studying the interaction of human, single donor platelets and aggregated human IgG adherent to erythrocyte stroma (ES/Agg IgG) and report the role of monomeric IgG and C1q in this interaction. Monomeric IgG inhibits platelet aggregation by the ES/Agg IgG and acts on the platelet surface. Compl...
