Inactivation of regulatory volume decrease in human peripheral blood lymphocytes by N-ethylmaleimide.

abstract：:Antigen-transporting cells take up pathogens, and then migrate from sites of inflammation to secondary lymphoid tissues to induce an immune response. Among antigen-transporting cells, dendritic cells (DCs) are believed to be the most potent and professional antigen-presenting cells that can stimulate naïve T cells. Ho...
