Dendritic cells (DC) represent key regulators of the immune system, yet their development from hemopoietic precursors is poorly defined. In this study, we describe an in vitro system for amplification of a Flt3(+)CD11b(+) progenitor from mouse bone marrow with specific cytokines. Such progenitor cells develop into both CD11b(+) and CD11b(-) DC, and CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) DC in vivo. Furthermore, with GM-CSF, these progenitors synchronously differentiated into fully functional DC in vitro. T ...[more]
