Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of A 23187 (calcium ionophore, CI) on dendritic cells (DC) from healthy human peripheral blood monocytes. Methods Peripheral blood monocytes from healthy donors were treated with rhGM CSF of 100 ng/ml、rhGM CSF of 100ng/ml plus IL 4 of 50ng/ml and rhGM CSF plus A 23187 100ng/ml each, respectively. After cumtivation of 40 hours, change of cellular morphology was observed under light microscopy and electron microscopy. Surface markers on DCs were analyzed by flow...
