摘要: This chapter discusses dendritic cells (DCs). Surrogate markers to measure adaptive T cell immunity include cytotoxic lymphocyte responses, cytokine production by lymphocytes and more recently, antigen-specific determined tetramer/monomer technology. However, responses are dependent on antigen-presenting cells, notably (DC), which in their various forms shown initiate direct responses. DC contributes B natural killer (NK) as well. Thus, fundamental the complete measurement of is ability accurately assess numbers function along with other effector cells. Wherever possible, available functional data correlated absolute count data. counting predicted become clinically relevant biomarkers that correlate clinical The tools can be used for counting.
