- Abstract
- Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in the initiation of an immune response. As DC-based therapeutic applications is increasing, large-scale DC production is required for transplantation. Human umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been shown to contain a rare and precious population of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which can give rise to DCs. The CD34 antigen has been widely used as a cell surface marker to identify HSCs. In this study, we used CD34 antibody to isolate CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells and compared the ability to differentiate into DCs. We used a two-step method combined with the magnetic bead sorting system to isolate CD34(+) and CD34(-) cells from human UCB. Analysis of cellular properties and functionality using a migration assay and T cell proliferation assay revealed no significant differences between CD34(+) cells and CD34(-) cells in their ability to generate DCs.
