[Induction of an immune response to mycobacterial antigens by means of dendritic cells]
The study evaluated whether a vaccine can be designed by using dendritic cells loaded by mycobacterial antigens. A method for preparing murine dendritic cells from the bone-marrow precursors was modified. The dendritic cells were characterized by the expression of surface molecules by flow cytofluorometry. The study has shown that T lymphocytes can be primed in vivo by administering the dendritic cells expressing the protective Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens H37Rv.

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
