Dendritic Cell Research

Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived immune cells that are divided into two major categories based on their developmental origin and cell surface marker expression: conventional DCs (cDC; previously called myeloid DCs/mDC) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDC). See MoreTo study DC subsets and function, isolate untouched human DCs by negative selection, or mouse DCs by positive or negative selection cells using our column-free cell isolation systems. Purified DCs are immediately ready for phenotypic and functional studies. Alternatively, to generate human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in culture, start by isolating human monocytes directly from whole blood without lysis or centrifugation with EasySep™ Direct.
