The function of porcine monocyte-derived DC has not only been characterized in terms of antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation, but also their response to various ligands of pattern recognition receptors. The function of porcine monocyte-derived DC has not only been characterized in terms of antigen presentation and lymphocyte activation, but also their response to various ligands of pattern recognition receptors. Altogether, the co-expression of CD172a and CD1 along with relatively high levels of both CD80/86 and MHC class II represent phenotypic characteristics of porcine MoDC but no marker clearly differentiating them from monocyte-derived macrophages has been identified. ./cache/cord-259669-fod4xkd7.txt ./txt/cord-259669-fod4xkd7.txt
