  • Publication number: 20120020998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inducing and amplifying specific effectors, which comprises obtaining pulsed plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) by incubation of a pDC line with at least one antigen, the pulsed pDC being subsequently irradiated and brought into contact with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and cultured or injected into an organism. The pulsed and irradiated pDC and the PBMC share at least one major histocompatibility complex (MHC) allele.

  • Publication number: 20100291629
    Abstract: The invention concerns the use of deleucocytation filters for defensin purification. More precisely, the invention concerns a method for purifying defensins, including the following steps: passing a blood sample on a deleucocytation filter; detaching the cells retained on the deleucocytation filter, inducing exocytosis of the defensins by those cells.
