For AC, CD34 depleted AC and NA-AC, cells were cultured for 7 days in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. CD34+ cells were culutred for 14 days with GM-CSF, TNF-α, SCF, and IL-4. Cultured cells were stained with PE-conjugated anti-CD1a MoAb or PE-conjugated control IgG1 MoAb. The percentage of CD1a+ cells and the DC yield in the different culture groups were compared with a t-test for pairs.
