Figure 4From: Decreased Langerhans Cell Responses to IL-36γ: Altered Innate Immunity in Patients with Recurrent Respiratory PapillomatosisCharacterization of LCs generated from peripheral blood monocytes. iLCs were generated from isolated peripheral blood monocytes by incubating blood monocytes with GMCSF, TGF-β1, and IL-4. After 6 d, they were analyzed by flow cytometry. The cells were E-cadherin+ and approximately 50% were langerin+ (A), but immature (CD83−) (B). Day 11 iLCs (C) could be induced to mature, as measured by surface expression of CD83 and HLADR, when stimulated with either IL-36γ (D) or LPS (E) for 48 h.Back to article page
