Accessory Cells with a Veiled Morphology and Movement Pattern Generated from Monocytes after Avoidance of Plastic Adherence and of NADPH Oxidase Activation. A Comparison with GM-CSF/IL-4-Induced Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells

Summary Veiled cells (VC) present in afferent lymph transport antigen from the periphery to the draining lymph nodes. Although VC in lymph form a heterogeneous population, some of the cells clearly belong on morphological grounds to the Langerhans cell (LC)/ dendritic cell (DC) series.
