Phenotypic and functional characterization of human dendritic cell subsets generated in vitro and isolated from tissues

免疫系统保护我们免受感染和癌症。树突状细胞（DC）是一种白细胞，在激活免疫系统和调节免疫反应方面起着核心作用。在本研究中，我们将确定人类DC群体的功能差异，因为清楚地了解不同人类DC类型之间的功能差异对于利用DC设计更有效的疫苗和免疫疗法用于临床应用至关重要。

The immune system defends us against infections and cancer. Dendritic cells (DC) are white blood cells that have a central role to both activate the immune system and to regulate immune responses. In this study, we will determine the functional differences of human DC populations, because a clear understanding of the functional differences between different human DC types is essential for utilizing DC in designing more effective vaccines and immune therapies for clinical applications.
