LMU researchers: macrophages can effectively substitute for so-called dendritic cells as primers of T-cell-dependent immune responses

New work by LMU researchers demonstrates that macrophages can effectively substitute for so-called dendritic cells as primers of T-cell-dependent immune responses. Indeed, they stimulate a broader-based response. München, 16-4-2015 — /EuropaWire/ —  The immune response, the process by which the … Read the full press release
