Generation and characterization of chicken monocyte-derived dendritic cells by Elie Ngantcha Tatchou, Elie Ngantcha Tatchou, Romane Milcamps, Romane Milcamps, Guillaume Oldenhove, Bénédicte Lambrecht, Fiona Ingrao

“…Subsequent stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or 24 h triggered phenotypic maturation of MoDCs, characterized by the increased surface expression of MHCII and co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD40, and elevated IL-12p40 secretion. This maturation reduced endocytic capacity but enhanced the allogenic stimulatory activity of the chicken MoDCs. …”
